Book Reviews of A Christmas Story: The Book That Inspired the Hilarious Classic Film

Book Review: Great stories, but sound and music totally uncalled for
Summary: 3 Stars

These stories are great, and it's fun to see them all together in one production. I loved the film, "A Christmas Story", and it's interesting to see the similarities and the differences between the original stories and how they were adapted to fit the movie. However, it really wasn't necessary to add the sound to the reading. I felt like it was a cheap trick to try to get more people who saw the movie to buy this CD set, but it really detracted from the reading. I mean, I can accept that the book and the movie are different. I don't need the publishing company to add sounds that allude to the movie in order for me to be interested in the original stories!
