okey so I had no idea what to rate this so I just put a 3⭐️ because it was not bad at all I quite liked it. But I have no strong opinion about it. It’s a classic and that’s really all I can say

Something about the writing was confusing at times... though, with the million different movies made of the story, I got the idea =P

The first time I tried reading this book it bored me, but now that I'm older I can understand and be able to appreciate it more.

This story is a classic, right up there with Twas the Night Before Christmas.
I think it should be read every year around Chrismas time to remind us of the year that has passed and how generosity, kindness, and the spirit of Christmas does not need to be crammed into 31 days in December, but held in our hearts all year round.

An immortal Christmas classic which perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the season. Not only will this book forever get me into a festive mood, but continues to deliver an important message on the importance of empathy, kindness, and the constant prospect of transforming oneself.

Just missed reading this on christmas because I'm kind of lazy. The second Dickens story I've read/listened to. The first being, funnily enough 'The Chimes'; another of his christmasy type stories which was another audible listener gift. Huh, sensing a pattern here. I enjoyed this one more than 'The Chimes' I think. Much more unforgettable imagery and plot, and of course Scrooge whose name has become synonymous with those who share his initially foul attitude toward christmas. 5/5 Bah Humbugs from me.
