Title: A Christmas Carol
Author: Charles Dickens
Genre: classics
Rating: 6/10
# pages: Audiobook
Date read: December, 2006
Summary: A classic tale of what comes to those whose hearts are hard. In a series of ghostly visits, Scrooge visits his happy past, sees the difficulties of the present, views a bleak future, and in the end amends his mean ways.
Review: Though I've read many adaptions of this story (among others a Disney version with Scrooge and Donald Duck in the main roles - obviously ;) ) I'd never actually read the original, so in December I felt it was time. It's pretty good, but I wasn't as impressed by it, as I'd expected to be. Perhaps this is because I listened to it as an audiobook instead of reading it myself. It's worth a read, but won't make it to my list of favourites.
