A review by mikhail_mascarenhas
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

5.0

"I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future."

A timeless classic by Dickens that should ideally be read by a fireplace on a cold winters night. The central theme of the novel is kindness and compassion. When one's nobler aspirations fall one by one, it's serves good to remember that mankind is one's business.

A Christmas Carol takes the reader through the pains of regret, the opportunities of the present and a caveat of a bleak future unless acted upon the present.

Having lived a destitute childhood, Dickens does a marvelous job of describing the lives of the poor in those days. Some may even describe his writings as "Dickensian" (wink wink).
