This is the first time I have ever read A Christmas Carol after seeing it so many times on TV. I was absolutely not disappointed and it was a very good Christmassy read. It was easy to read and not tedious, like I have heard Dicken's work can be. This could quite easily become a yearly Christmas read for me.

This is a lovely Christmas story. It’s a quick read, but I just personally enjoy this better in a different medium. Lovely moral!
