hyperdontiia 's review for:
A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens
[24/166]
It's not just that A Christmas Carol is retold in every cheesy holiday special under the sun (although my guilty favorite is decidedly non-holiday Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past), it's that Charles Dickens's prose is so purple it might exist outside the human visible light spectrum. Simple, arguably effective, very very preachy, you know what it is, you know what you're going to get, and you already know how flat it is if you've watched some retelling. Bah humbug.
