A really creative looking and unique story, but from the review it doesn't sound like the kind of book I would enjoy. Still, well-done!

Books about family trips can be funny sometimes. I may add this to my reading list. Thanks for the good and informative review!

The review definitely sells the book. I hope to like the characters especially the protagonist. The humor is however what I'm looking forward to the most. I can't wait to be tickled by Vacation To Graceland too. ?

The book sounds amusing, and a good read. It is nice to see that the family is portrayed as imperfect because all families do have their problems. I have been looking for a humorous book to read and looks like this one might be perfect! Thank you!

Great review: it's very simple and to the point. I get the feeling that's also how this book is written (with the added humor of course). It sounds like a light, easy read for when you need a break from the hectic world we live in while also being somewhat relatable with the crazy family dynamic. Thanks for the review!

Good review! This sounds like a nice/light easy-to-read book. Must be a pretty funny book if it had you laughing out loud! Seems like just the type of story to read with summer coming up. :)

This sounds like a vacation from hell!! Good thing St Louis is not too far from Memphis. I'm definitely more of a suspense and mystery reader so not sure if this book is for me but thank for the great review that you did.

Good review. This definitely sounds like a book based on any family in a sitcom. Not a bad thing, just not my style. I love sitcoms, but I don't generally enjoy reading about them. The book sounds like a great light read.
It's Always Worth the Read.

Hi Wasif,

I really like your review about Vacation To Graceland.

I have only read the free sample, and I agree with you that it is a very well written book.

I could only have a brief idea about what it is about, but in your Review you are given a wider scope about its content. I guessed it is a humoristic novel, with a bit strange characters, mainly the grandmother. You made me want to read it completely.

Very good Review! :tiphat:
Thanks.

interesting review .. though i have to disagree on some points .. I found about two or three grammatical errors in the sample .. Also usually I'm caught into a story in the first few pages but not so much here it just seemed too all over the place or maybe its just me heh.. it does sound like an interesting book even though its not one of my favored genres but yeah I wouldn't finish it
