lispylibrarian's review against another edition
3.0
Rather than a retelling, this graphic novel takes the classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL and adapts it using "quick text," so that the reader still gets the effect of Dickens' novel, but can be read in one sitting rather than trudging through the original. The colors used to show the moods of the story are beautiful as they change from dark and dreary, to bleek during the ghost of Christmas past, to eerie with the ghost of Christmases to come and then to bright and cheerful as Scrooge changes his demeanour and decides to be a joyful, giving person.

Great retelling of a Christmas classic. I enjoyed the graphics and reading this again just before Christmas.

This is a fabulous adaptation of the classic. My students loved getting to read a "comic book" and I loved that it was still the original text.

I read the original last year, and since I made a goal for myself to read more graphic novels this year, I figured I would read the graphic novel adaptation. It followed the original pretty well. I prefer Dickens’ language though.
