I've watched many adaptions of this story, but had never actually read the original novella. Dickens writes with sharp wit, and Scrooge's transformation is truly believable. A timeless classic.

I can't believe its in the actual book. "Tiny Tim, who did NOT die" most eloquent bit of plot wrap up I've seen.

Weird to read this on the beach in Bahrain rather than around Christmas time by a fire :D. Never read this classic before, but it was a poignant novella with a lovely moral lesson. Loved the illustrations in my edition also.

Ebenezer Scrooge being unwillingly therapized by 4 ghost for 125 pages straight.

Loved the ending, paid off. But I've got to say, I liked him better when he was bitter. He was jst so cvnty.
