I read this for the first time last year when my daughter brought it home. I've always loved the movie and enjoyed the book as well; the story always leaves me feeling good about life.

I love Patrick Stewart. His range is so amazing.

I knew the story but I didn't know the story. It was far scarier than I had remembered and the writing as typical of Dickens, was fabulous.

I am only giving this book three stars because as stellar as the writing is, I am still not a fan of the story.

Jim Dale, as per usual, is incredible.

I can't help it. I love this classic tale. While there are some great movie adaptations (the 1951 version starring Alistair Sim is my favorite), nothing beats reading the book. It's a great story of Christmas tradition and character redemption, all with that Dickens' flare for memorable characters and iconic moments. If you haven't read it, give it a try.

Smart movie adaptations of this story don't fall too far from the tree; this novella is wonderful even today. No wonder the story has stuck with us and become an iconic part of Christmas.
