"I'm glad that i picked this up to actually take a real read on it after having seen so many versions of movies, plays, tv specials, etc. Dickens really does a superb job of painting an vibrant picture of the times that cannot be reached by any amount of physical scenery. books > movies."

    " I enjoy this classic very much. This year I read it with my kids before seeing the play. It was a fun, quick read that still was thought provoking. The kids also enjoyed pointing out how the play differed from the book. "

    " This book captures character beautifully. It reveals how bitterness is created in a man and how a cold exterior can be melted away. It's not really about Christmas, it just uses the spirit of Christmas to reveal the characters. "

    " Read this aloud to my girls this Christmas season. Really enjoyed it and they did too!!! It will be fun to read it again next year. As the girls get older and understand the language more I think it will be even more fun. The book is actually quite humorous and a great Christmas read! "
