It's not Christmas for me until I've watched or read some rendition of A Christmas Carol. I've come to appreciate the original book more and more over the years. It's no wonder it's a classic that's been done over and over again.

Lovely read! The book highlights a lot of issues of Ebenezer's self that a lot of the wealthy population shared at the time it was set. Dickens is a wonderful writer and I always look forward to reading his stories. however, would've rated higher if I analysed it in different context

Minor: Cursing and Body horror

Death is a major theme and scenarios involving death are described. A major theme is poverty and people being unempathetic towards poor people. The cursing is only implied and is minor by today’s standards.
