Pros and cons
What we like
- 24 mini books, each about 2.4 inches tall
- Includes The Great Gatsby, Dracula, Don Quixote and Walden
- Every book has a gold string to hang as an ornament
- The full set can stay out afterward as a shelf display
What may bother
- Only the opening chapters, not full texts
- Tiny print on a tiny page, which is tough to read for long
- Meant for the December countdown, so the timing is fixed
Our verdict
82 / 100A clever alternative to candy calendars for teens and adults who love books. Give it to a reader who enjoys classics; skip it for someone who would be frustrated by excerpts.
Frequently asked questions
Is the full text of each book included?
No — each mini book includes selected opening chapters and excerpts, not the complete text.
Can the books be reused after Christmas?
Yes, each one comes with a gold string and can be displayed as an ornament or kept on a shelf.

How we score
The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
