A review by hettie_ethel
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

2.0

This is a book that everyone hears about and has probably read or watched many times. I had managed to avoid both until now.

After all I had heard about it I wondered if I would recognise much of it as I read. There was some that as I did recognise much of the storyline and characters and that made to feel like I had read it before. But on the whole I found it disappointing. I did not find it as interesting or moving as many have said. While I cannot say I did not like it I also cannot say that I really enjoyed it.

It takes a strange place of one of those books that actually did not make much impact on me. Maybe I need to reread it in the future or better yet listen to it as an audio book.

The best thing about this book is that I know know where some of the sayings come from and that I can say that I have read the book.
