robwcote 's review for:

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
5.0

I'm surprised by how much I loved this. It's very simple and straightforward. I think the only version of this story I've ever taken in is Mickey's Christmas Carol, and that adaptation is really so good that you're able to get pretty much the entire story in all its detail from that. Normally there's a lot that is lost from page to screen.

So, few surprises and really very little complexity, but it's still just nice. And the writing is of a style that I enjoy.

Will read this again, for sure, and this has finally made me resolve to read Dickens. I'm sure I'll enjoy more of his work as well.
