    Christmas Carnage
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019*

Every year, we get a new Christmas book to read together and this was the first year we got a chapter book for me to read to my kids throughout the month of December leading up to Christmas.I wish I had read the negative reviews before purchasing, as this book is just completely full of negativity. When we started out, I liked the idea of Santa Claus overcoming hardships, but it soon became more than mere hardship; it was truly depressing.I continued reading hoping it would take an upturn, but it didn’t.SPOILERS: His horrible (for no apparent reason) aunt destroyed the one item in the world he cherished in a rather sickening manner, there was a sociopathic pixie who talked about how much she loved making heads explode (there is an actual head explosion in the book, described in gory detail), Blizten enjoyed peeing on people (unnecessary and childish humor, which I found confusing as the author clearly wanted to deal some incredibly mature and horrible blows of reality throughout), his father (his hero and a man whom he had always admired)  kidnapped an elf for money, a troll nearly strangled him to death, his father committed suicide right before his eyes, etc.Ultimately, the only reason I kept reading was so we could finally get to the good stuff where he becomes Santa Claus. We felt the payoff at the very end was not nearly as cheery as it needed to be in order to make the rest of the book worth it.We DO NOT recommend this book.

    Don't be dissuaded by negative reviews.  This book is a gem.
  

*by B***W on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2020*

Clearly BBS believes children's books should be all sugar and spice. This is a delightful book, and BBS has not understood it. For instance, Christmas's father does something in a crisis that insures that his son will survive and succeed. Do you really want to label that "suicide?" If you really want to get analytical, this could be a story about a young boy who rises above all the hardship and sorrow of his youth to become a compassionate and loving icon. Or, you could just read with your children and chuckle at silly incidents and cheer for a boy with moxie.

    This book is DEPRESSING.
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2020*

This book is just downright depressing. This isn't a feel-good book made for kids. In my humble opinion, this is something I wouldn't have been able to handle as a kid. In fact, I was barely able to handle it as an adult. From all the pain Nikolas goes through...I won't spoil the book. But there is a load of abuse in this book and I can't get down with it.The book is well-written, don't get me wrong. But you don't feel good after you put it down. Maybe that's what the author wanted? Maybe they wanted something "deeper" therefore they chose the most depressing way to go about it.
