Jim - finished the SantaThing book the other week....it is a most strange book! I found it tough going at first, but once I got used to the style I was rather enjoying all those different stories and the mix of people.

I am not entirely certain that I understood the premise of the whole book or that I enjoyed the ending as I prefer a more settled ending, but I definitely enjoyed the book - the language used is quite something.

Thanks again for sending me this!

Hi Jim, I'm glad you got the books - both great stories and two of my favorites. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

All the best,
