This was not my favorite RPE novel. The good thing about his books is that they can be read in no more than a day or two, so the misery ended quickly.

This is a modern-day re-telling of the Prodigal Son, so it made sense to me that the main character, Luke, behaved so poorly, but it really grated on my nerves for the first half of the book. I wanted to shout, "REALLY?!? HOW STUPID ARE YOU?"....and then he would go on and do something even more stupid.

Once Luke screwed his head on straight, the story was more enjoyable for me. I suppose that, once in a while, I like books that wrap themselves up in pretty little package and Lost December eventually did just that. Am I glad I read it? Of course....what kind of a RPE fan would I be If I didn't? Will I read it again? Probably not.
