Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 12 6, 2013
MISTER Pat Hester (emphasis on the MISTER) has penned the most hilarious, fact-filled and strategic planning book for MEN who, for whatever reason, are forced into any shopping mall across the country to do (or assist wives, girlfriends) CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.  Mr. Hester has left nothing out. He has provided vivid descriptions of what a shopping mall is like at CHRISTMAS time. which seems to start earlier every year!  This year, I noted (with distain) that stores were putting up Christmas decorations immediately after taking down the Halloween decorations.  BLACK FRIDAY actually started on THANKSGIVING DAY!!!!  I think Mr. Hester was either forced (by his significant other), or he built up his inner courage to do HIS own Christmas gift shopping, starting on BLACK FRIDAY as research for this book.  Whatever his reasons, I found this book to be extremely funny.  Mr. Hester has left no rock unturned in his descriptions of the highs and lows of Christmas gift shopping (he even describes the purchasing of a Christmas tree).  I laughed until I almost choked as I read every chapter.  The desciriptions of the Perfume and Fragrences counters, the Food Court and the parking lots are no doubt based on actual occurances . . . one has to either laugh or cry.  Mr. Hester's CHRISTMAS MALL FOLLIES is a MUST READ for every MAN before he enters a shopping mall on Thanksgiving Day, or BLACK FRIDAY.  Having read this book, I will hire a "Personal Shopper", expense no object.CHRISTMAS MALL FOLLIES deserves nothing less than FIVE STARS!Happy Holidays Amazon customers,Michael PhelpsAuthorDavid Janssen-My Fugitive (with Ellie Janssen)The Execution of Justice (A Mike Walsw Detecvtive Novel)The Jockey's Justice (A Michael; Walsh Detective Novel)David Janssen-Our Conversatiions (Coming 2013)
