Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol: A Radio Dramatization Audiobook

" I would say this is the greatest Christmas tale of them all and one I will never grow tired of. Scrooge is one of the greatest ever characters in English literature. "

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

" I hated it do not read it if you are like me "

" Classic bu there are better dickens novels. "

" I try to read this every year around Christmastime, just to get myself in the spirit of the holiday. "

" This book is so much darker than any of its many movies and shows. I actually like it better. Well maybe not when it comes to the Muppet version, but hey who doesn't like the Muppet. "

" You think you know this story, but do you remember the miners ? I thought not. This is some of our greatest author's most accessible writing, so pick up or download a copy of this Novella. "

" Not a very long book, but in the number of pages Dickens manages to load more life-changing literature than any other. It's no wonder it's such a classic, in the true spirit of Christmas. An absolute beacon of literature and what it's supposed to be. "

" A great Classic Christmas book to get me in the festive spirit! "

" Marvelous story, marvelous descriptions, marvelous narrator (Simon Vance). "

" A beautifully written book. The characters come to life in this classic tale of redemption. "

" The spirit of Christmas is about celebrating what Christ brought; hope, love, and joy. I cannot think of a better "modern" story that reflects this. Best of all, it is accessible to anyone. Thank you Mr. Dickens. "

" It was an interesting book about Christmas. "

" A Christmas classic. Must read and watch the movie. "

" A lot of fun and a little emotional at times. "

" 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. "

" Again, Dickens rendered me speechless with his exemplary writing skills and sentence structure. This fairy-tale deserved to read for every kids before Christmas holidays! I will reread it again when it comes to Christmas! "

" Great, light read for the holidays. Thinking about making it an annual tradition to go through it. Wouldn't hurt my sense of charitableness now would it? "

" I have always meant to read this book but have never gotten around to it. It was great. I loved reading the descriptions of the things that you see in the movie. "

" Traditional christmas story to scare kids into being good. Teaches valuable lessons and is a great holiday story to read. "

" This book was poetic and beautiful to read. It wrapped me up in a world that no TV show or film adaptation ever could. The original is most certainly the best. "

" It's not for me to "review" a timeless classic like this one. I re-read it because I'll be leading a discussion of it at our local library later this week. "

" Read the whole thing out loud in two sittings with all the different voices. Excellent fun. "

" While it does have a religious tone, having Christmas in the name, it is a classic that, I believe, that all students must read. It presents social studies topics, such as right and wrong, character, and our conscience, as well as being of merit in the English classroom. "

" enjoyable. didn't really think there was very much that hasn't been covered by the movies, contrary to what I was told. I don't have a lot of love for dickens, because you can tell by his verbose style that he was paid according to the length of his stories "

" I read this aloud to the family this winter. I can't get enough of Dickens. So many quotable lines. "

" 'Darkness was cheap and Scrooge liked it.' Overall, a good read, though a bit boring with less characters and a very old background. Retrospection to be taken, of the material world and the love of it. "

" 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 "

" I think that this book was very vivid and creative because it has a moral within itself. It teaches you to be generous and kind to others, rather than be a selfish, greedy person that everybody will hate. This book is truly wonderful, almost like a classic within itself. Highly recommended. "

" 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! "
