Spending the Holidays with People I Want to Punch in the Throat

Having never read Jen's blog or previous books, I had expected this to be a humorous collection of short stories regarding over-the-top people during the holidays. This is what the books' title suggests and I didn't know any better until I began making my way though the book.

I DNF'd this book a third of the way in. The portion I read was complaining about her parents' collection of Christmas memorabilia, while, at the same time, talking about how she only has three Christmas trees in her house. This isn't interesting to read and does not live up to any promises suggested in the books' title.

All in all, I am happy I decided to read this book before I bought it for a friend.
