I try to read this every year around this time. It's a near perfect story, and this is one of the better versions. Tim Curry, nuff said.

A classic literary piece by Charles Dickens. A Christmas Carol has become a universal story of redemption through supernatural intervention. At the core of the story is the idea of "second chances" that no matter what you have done or not done you are more than just those decisions. Furthermore, the use of the three spirits shows the past, present, and yet to come repercussions of our decisions. Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge is certainly a strongly disliked character, but one that by the end the reader might feel some compassion for. I had seen the tv shows and plays of this book but never actually read it until now. I am glad that I did. The descriptions of the spirits are certainly something that plays greatly on the imagination. Overall, a classic if I could venture to know one.

Había visto los dibujos y este libro me gusto mucho más que en los dibujos

Read this coming up to Christmas time and really enjoyed it. I had forgotten though how wordy Dickens can be, every adjective under the sun is often used in a single description.

This was really great and I can see how it became an instant classic and still remains beloved today.
