Me encantó la primera parte , la descripción de el campo de batalla que conjunga la sangre y sufrimiento con la naturaleza.

This story has restored my faith in Dickens once more, as the last one damaged it. I still can't quite get behind the surreal characterization of some of the characters, but otherwise I enjoyed the story.

Not entirely sure how this is a Christmas story but I do find that I enjoyed the characters and the story made more sense than the others of this collection and I’m glad to have read it

As ever Charles Dickens bring us a good story with a pleasing outcome. His characters ate exceedingly well drawn and he uses dialogue skillfully to move the story forward and make the characters seem genuine. A good read indeed. If there is any fault it is that it all a little too predictable.

The fourth Dickens "Christmas book" that has very little to do with Christmas. They decorate the house with holly and mention that it is "near", but that is about it. 3 stars primarily for the very funny descriptions of the clumsy but loveable servant, Clemency Newcome, and the lawyers, Snitchey and Craggs. However, that may be generous. I felt its un-Dickens-like brevity was an act of mercy.

Another beautiful tale filled with equally beautiful illustrations. Honestly worth every second.
