The light of Christmas Eve, Nov 8 2010
By wogan "the book reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: On Christmas Eve (Hardcover)
`On Christmas Eve' is the 11th in the Thomas Kinkade series of Cape Light books . One nice thing, is that you do not have to have read the entire sequence of books to enjoy or understand this one. However, Cape Light is such a welcoming, comforting place that you should read the series. They are a sweet soothing read, especially for the holidays.
The people in the town have problems and faults, but they are, for the most part good and they act in a realistic manner. As the story progresses, bits of background and information are slipped into the story line to let a new reader, or remind a former reader who the characters are and what has happened before. The surroundings and even the smells are well described, so that you are drawn into the story, not just by the people but by the setting around them.
This new novel deals with two main stories, a runaway and a wife of the town curmudgeon who wants to take her in; and a divorced woman who might find romance. I wish there was a broader sweep of the town's citizens included in the story. This latest Christmas book seemed a bit lacking in including the story of the town and the different people who live there, which after all is a huge part of everyone's lives and is a focus of the series.
It is still an enjoyable book to read for the holiday season.

The Cape Light series is wonderful and makes for great holiday reading. It is nice to read something to put you in the holiday spirit and you can relate to the story from your own life experiences.

I loved this book, along with all books, written by Thomas Kinkade! I read and enjoyed them faster than they can write the books! My husband bought me 11 books in the series and in 6 months, I have all 12 of them read and waiting for the next one to come out in the Cape Light series. It is a wonderful Christian fiction series of books, and when I finished each one, I could hardly wait to start the next book in the series.
