Dickens has an amazing talent for description--loved all his discussion of the Christmas food.Really glad I finally read the book after watching so many adaptations. It's so short I could definitely see myself rereading it every year.
In this book the main character Ebenezer Scrooge was a grumpy old man who disliked everyone and everything but he what he hated was christmas! In the beginning of the book Scrooge had the worst christmas spirit and didnt mind killing others right along with his. Soon enough his friend Bob Marl...

I had never read A Christmas Carol before, and even more shocking, I'd never read Charles Dickens before last week (unless you count a manga adaptation of Great Expectations). I was however familiar with the story (can someone not be familiar with the story?) and after I happened to stumble on the f...
Well, I don't need to tell anybody here about Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. I might be the only person living who hadn't already read it at some point. I'll just say Tim Curry is brilliant (also not news) and he elevated the story to art. My reaction throughout the story was surprise, as...
