this has probably always been my favourite christmas story but i have been dwelling on it a lot lately. the messages of love and redemption are so beautifully demonstrated and the writing, of course, is wonderful. it’s not just a christmas story but a story of how to live. it’s been years since i’ve read it so i’m happy i had the time to read it in one sitting this
christmas!
christmas!
This was a lovely and pleasant book to read during the holiday season!
I was not expecting this much to be packed into such a little volume, but Dickens has managed it. I was also expecting it to be difficult to read, but it was not at all. The pages absolutely flew by. I really must look into more of Dickens' works—I enjoy his style of writing quite a lot.
I'm shelving it under "good soup" because this book was exactly like that. It went down easy, was wholesome and very heartwarming. I would classify it in the same little niche of books as Little Women. It was good to finally read a classic that everyone knows, especially at the time of year it is actually set in (the effect just wouldn't be the same if I was to read it during summer).
If you're looking for a good, hopeful little book to wrap up your year, I highly recommend A Christmas Carol. I'm resolved to do more good in the new year because of it.
