A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
5.0
Iconic story that you definitely have read, seen or listened to in some way or other.
I have seen the muppets version, the flintstones and disney versions. But I have never read the original book.
Oh boy what a book. The language is flowing like poetic water. And it flows so easy from chapter to chapter. In just a few sentences all of the characters jump at you from the pages and makes you cry and smile. It truly is a masterpiece.
“There are some upon this earth of yours,” returned the Spirit, “who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name, who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us.”
