A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens
4 stars. Loved it. I've seen so many adaptations of this story so I decided it was time to finally read the source material. I'm so glad I did because this was a charming, heartfelt story.
I loved the writing. I read Dickens's Great Expectations in high school and while the book I didn't care for, I did find his writing style to be intriguing. I sometimes have a hard time with classics but this one was a breeze to get through and comprehend. Ebenezer Scrooge is a fascinating character and I loved watching the growth and development he goes through. For this to be such a short read Dickens really did a fantastic job in writing a fleshed out character.
Overall, I see why this is such a beloved holiday classic and I'm glad I finally read it.
