First Charles Dickens book I've ever read! It was a short and nice read.
it was slightly annoying as it was done by a computer generated voice, the standard microsoft one. pronoucation was wierd too. but i stuck with it. next time i'm going to try a human voiced audiobook i have a leatherbound copy of the christmas carol at home, and i haven't read it in full. but this is my all time favourite christmas story, as i have watched almost every version of it on TV (or DVD), my favourite by far being the muppet version. I also did a play back when i was in high school.this story is about Ebenezer scrooge. he is a cheapskate and from what i can tell; he is also an grumpy old man.this story has a few ghosts to show Ebenezer what he has been missing out on by hating christmas. he is shown what other peple think of him but dare not say to his face(Ever). and is shown what the future holds for him if he contiues on the path he is on.of course he changes his ways. but this is a story to make you think. it is meant to make you appreciate what you have and to celebrate the spirit of christmas because it brings joy to not only you but those around you.
