5.0

i have finally got round to reading the original. 

Like most people I have seen many many adaptions of this and I was delighted to find that most of these haven't strayed far from the original text at all. The text is a little creepier in places than most adaptions I have seen but not much.

I think I will make listening to a different version every year a new Christmas tradition. Hugh Grant does a great job performing here.
