" a great Christmas read! !! the REAL meaning of Christmas. .. "

" I can't believe I had never read this book before. What a great, quick, Christmas read! "

" "Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence were all my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!" "

" it was mostly interesting to see what had been done differently through the countless movie versions I've seen through the years. "

" It was interesting to read this classic. The problem was that I remember seeing the movie, and there are differences. Ths is very interesting, though. It's sad that Scrooge couldn't learn his lesson earlier. But, I see humanity in him. It was really nice to see him turn around, though. "

" Nice to go back and read the original again, with the old illustrations courtesy of Project Gutenberg. "

" Try to read it every Christmas, a little late this year. "

" Can I just say that whilst reading this book, I only saw the characters in their muppet form. Made it all the more charming. "

" I forgot how many small details are missed in the movie versions. Will definitely add this read as an annual requirement for the Christmas season! "

" The end was hilarious to me, idk why. bye bye! :D I am unusually cheerful for an unknown reason. Probably because I finally finished this book. Yay! bye bye :D "

" I absolutely loved it. Over the years I've become very jaded with the story and have felt that it was overdone--that is until now, having actually read the original. By far surpassing every screen depiction. The descriptions and use of language are wonderfully evocative. "

" A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite books -- I read it and/or listen to an audio edition at least once a year. The narrator of this edition is good (Though the Patrick Stewart recording is still my favorite). "

" This is quite possible my favorite book. "

" A Christmas classic! A reminder of what Christmas should always be about. "

" A timeless fable more relevant today than ever.... "

" I had a hard time reading this. I kept picturing the movie (Muppets none the less) and the language kept throwing me off. some of the movies follow the book so closely that I prefer the movies. "

" Muppet version is somewhat superior. "

" This is truly one of my all time favorite books. I have also seen every film version including the one starring Alistair Sim! The story is also wonderful when performed in the theater! "

" lessons are to never exclude yourself from others, become generous, and enjoy life's joys and camaraderie with humanity. "

" Stephen read this to us--what fun! "

" I feel bad giving the book only three stars because the story itself is worth five. But having grown up on so many filmic versions ("Scrooge" with Albert Finney being my favorite by far), finally reading Dickens's prose just wasn't as fulfilling as I'd hoped. "

" Dickens outdoes himself with this fanciful tale of a life turned around. His language is poetic and lyrical, vivid and classically middle English. What a wonderful story! "

" Enjoyed reading this for the first time despite having seen it in many plays & movies. "

" Found out the other day that this revolutionized the celebration of Christmas. Just another reason it is a great novel. "

" I thought the book would be more in depth than the movies. It actually wasn't. "

" I decided watching a variety of adaptations of A Christmas Carol just wasn't cutting it. That it was high time I dust off the original and give it a whirl. The writing is so beloved and brought with it such a flow of Christmas nostalgia. Looks like I have a new Christmas tradition! "

" Very good. Wish I would have read it when I was suppose to in school. "

" A must have! I marveled at the descriptive skills of Charles Dickens.a great read. "

" I've always wanted to read the real version of this story and because I've grown hearing it every Christmas, I never bothered to actually read it. There was nothing new to add but yet, I still enjoyed it. "

" And every christmas, I ask myself what will I see when the spirits come? "

" Ebeneezer Scrooge - one of the best realised characters in literature :-) "

" This is a good book as good as the film perhaps even better :) "

" You can't go wrong with Dickens. This is a classic that everyone should read. "

" One of my favorites. Can't wait to see my old school perform the play next year! So exciting! :) "

" I finally read the book, and loved it! If you like the classic tale, the book is a fun read. The TV and film versions I've seen all have many direct quotes from Dickens. "

" Just delightful. Dickens is only surpassed by Disney. "

" Performed as a readers' theater in high school "

" it was a pleasure reading this book because i think the guy at the end of all his trials learn that you cant be selfish ,greedy and mean all his life and he learn that being unselifish anf creshirish it for the best . p.s i spelled a word wrong correct me... "

" I loved reading the original story because I have seen so many film versions of the Dickens classic. Dickens' writing style is well-crafted and entertaining as well. I found myself laughing at some of the side comments Dickens makes. "

" Loved it! could read it over and over! "
