I really enjoyed the book because of the great writing and storytelling style. The end of the story was very well written. I also liked how the author pictured and critiqued some of the character traits of people.

I reread this book every Christmas, and I find something new in it every time. Listening to Hugh Grant read it this year added new layers of colour, humour, and heart to one of my favourite Christmas tales. I highly recommend this for older children and families.
