A review by snukes
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

5.0

As we were discussing how A Christmas Carol is the most adapted work of fiction of all time (more than 100 adaptations and counting!), we realized neither of us has ever read the original. So that had to be fixed.

If you seen A Muppet Christmas Carol, you've heard much of the original text. It's so good. Dickens really was a genius, wasn't he?

I found myself feeling rather cynical as we finished this: can a man so deeply ingrained in his bad habits really have such a complete and lasting change of heart? I hope so. Clearly, we all hope so, or this story wouldn't be as beloved and repeated as it is.
