Christmas is a period known for showing love and sharing presents that are meant to bring joy, happiness, and unity, but that season produced the opposite for Tony, Sofia, and their family that fateful Christmas morning via their discovery of a strange child-a girl as one of their Christmas presents. The rest of the novel then revolves majorly around the life of a successful, diligent, workaholic named Holly Hillman, the CEO of Marshall Whiteman Logistics, who has ascended and maintained her prestigious position by personally sacrificing her social and family life to focus on the company. She enjoys everything being perfect, pre-planned, and under her control until the Ling Chow Group requires a DNA test as a contract sealer for the merger. A DNA test that will drastically change Holly as she is faced with the truth and is required to make certain decisions that will affect not only her life but the lives of others around her. Will she accept the truth and make the right choices? Enjoy the answers and more in the novel Logistics: A Christmas Story by Chris Coppel. 

I would start by commending the author, Chris Coppel's, introduction to the novel Logistics: A Christmas Story, as it prepared me to anticipate more from the novel and left me satisfied at the end of the novel. While the cover page gave a glimpse of what to expect in the novel, one can only fully interpret and appreciate it after reading the book.

I must also appreciate the author's style of writing. Though it wasn't chronologically arranged, the author was able to carry his readers along and employed the use of flashbacks where necessary to create a clearer picture and vivid explanation for most of the questions that, surprisingly enough, might pop into the readers' minds as they read the book.

Also, despite being a sci-fi novel, the novel is rich with a lot of parenting tips which are exemplified in the lives of the book's characters; one of the tips being the allowance of children to fantasies, as it helps them dream and encourages creativity. The book also contains amazing business tips that people might overlook in the course of business while also creating awareness of certain ills that go on in the business world and the world generally, some of which are poor working environments and attitudes, unhealthy practices and measures employers put their employees through just to get labor and achieve their goals and lots more.

Despite my inability to understand Chris Coppel's use of scientific terminology to explain some answers to questions asked in the book, I would not call it a negative for the book as one can move ahead and enjoy the book.

The book deserves a four out of four rating. Aside from the simplicity of language, the unexaggerated length of the book, and the number of characters used, that made the book enjoyable and encouraging to read, the book was professionally edited, as I found no errors while reading.

I would recommend the book to people who love Christmas and Christmas stories, as well as those who enjoy mysteries and their unraveling.
