Ti è piaciuto "Canto di Natale" e odi i poveri? Questo è il libro perfetto per te!

Caro Charles, capisco che mi vuoi fare il messaggio di non perdere mai la speranza, ma, tra tutti i personaggi, mi spieghi perché quelli con le visioni da incubo sono gli stessi poveri a cui i ricchi rubano il cibo, si divertono a insultare, rendono la vita una merda? Tra perdere la speranza ed essere un pezzo di merda, penso ci sia qualcuno che stia peccando di più. Povero Trotty, lascialo in pace.

Lo consiglierei? No. Il messaggio è carino, è abbastanza scorrevole ed è corto, ma se proprio devi leggerti qualcosa del genere vai a leggere "Canto di Natale".
A meno che a te le persone che provano a fare del loro meglio non stiano sul cazzo

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook because of Richard's voice acting. He really gives his all for every role he does.

DNF.

Ugh Dickens. Paid by the word and it shows. And not for the better.

Might just be bad timing but I found this one quite hard to read/follow and therfore struggled to put the effort in to read it. The fourth quarter did at least get me back on track with who is who and whats going on but that was too little to late for me.

A follow up to "A Christmas Carol" whose main character is opposite of Scrooge.

Similar feel to [b:A Christmas Carol|5326|A Christmas Carol|Charles Dickens|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1406512317l/5326._SY75_.jpg|3097440], although from a different perspective, and felt darker than that, whether because the other is so familiar, or because this one seemed less clear about circumstances.
