Book Reviews of A Christmas Carol
Book Review: "Men's courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead" - Scrooge
Summary: 4 Stars
When starting this book I'd have never thought Scrooge would come up with a quotable line, but through the power of Dickens and the three Spirits, even Scrooge was a changed man!
Of course just about anybody who celebrates Christmas and has paid attention to the world around them as they've grown up is familiar with the story of Ebenezer Scrooge as written by the genius Dickens. And most of us have been exposed to at least a few different versions of some animated or Hollywood version of the story. But anyone interested in a simple and short read at Christmas time would do well to treat themselves to the Dickens classic in its original written form. You'll likely not be disappointed as long as you're willing to understand that it's Dickens and it's written in his classic Victorian style, i.e., not a simplified Hollywood script. This was great fun to read and there are some very good points presented by the three Spirits that just about any of us - not just Scrooge - might be able to infuse into our lives at the Christmas time of year.
