"I gave this book a high rating because it is a Christmas classic.There is an opinion, shared by many, that Dickens was not so great a writer that we make him out to be. In his day he churned out books. Anyone who can shed more light on this opinion? "
— Linda (5 out of 5 stars)
" That book is amazing! I`ve read it an year ago! "

— Coho, 10/31/2011" We love this book at our house. Every year once Thanksgiving is over, we start into it slowly in order to have it finished by Christmas Eve. "
— Cindy, 10/23/2011" Love this story, and the book is actually pretty funny. I was surprised. A good, super quick, Christmas read. "
— Shawn, 10/22/2011" Brilliant! I started listening to this book this morning, just finished now and will buy the book on the walk home so I can read it again and again. Such a simple, clever idea. "
— Johanna, 10/20/2011" Dickens was useful once. He is history now, not literature. The cartoon movie tells it all. "
— Hansen, 10/19/2011" For the sheer beauty of the language used and the 'moral-of-the-story', I give it 3 stars.! A good Sunday afternoon read :) "
— Manasi, 10/16/2011" There is no movie production that has done this book justice. Don't think you know the whole story until you read it. "

— Dagný, 10/7/2011Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was born in Landport, Portsmouth, England, the second of eight children in a family continually plagued by debt. A legacy brought release from the nightmare of debtors’ prison and child labor and afforded him a few years of formal schooling. He worked as an attorney’s clerk and newspaper reporter until his early writings brought him the amazing success that was to be his for the remainder of his life. He was the most popular English novelist of the Victorian era, and he remains popular, responsible for some of English literature’s most iconic characters.
