Author
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced ‘Oliver Twist’, the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870, he was buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was so much fun to read, especially after watching Mickey's A Christmas Carol so many times I know it by heart=) I'm sure everyone knows the story, so I"ll just say that its one of those books everyone should read, and everyone will love.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Finally got around to this classic and, even though I was familiar with the story from having seen the myriad of film versions, I enjoyed reading the source material quite a bit. It's very well-written - if a bit wordy in spots, (it is Dickens after all! :), but it's a fun little morality tale that carries a good message of Christmas cheer to last all through the year.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Christmas classic. Dickens uses A Christmas Carol to highlight and underscore the economic conditions in Dickensian-era London. This book came to America in 1870, and, according to The Battle for Christmas, is the reason that Christmas is legal in America.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked it. I like the language. It made me slow down and appreciate it. I knew the story, but I was surprised at how much I didn’t know (mostly little things). It was what I would class as a comfort read. I don’t think I would read it every year (but I don’t tend to read books twice) but I will definitely be reading more Dickens.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great classic story!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A book which might be avoided by some readers because of the cliches that the text has generated. Any such bias should be overcome though. It is a witty engrossing read, with some enthralling passages, most notably in those parts where Dickens describes family and social scenes. It is also sensuous in some places, and is all the more rewarding for it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was an ok book. It was about Scrooge who was a lonely mean bossy old man, who no one liked. One day he gets a visit by one of his dead worker, and he warned him that Scrooge is going to be visited by three ghost. The ghost of Chirstmas Past, Present, and Future. After meeting with all the ghosts they changed his life. He started to be nicer and be more giving.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A classic tale of human values and morality, set in the midst of everyone's favorite holiday season. Dickens manages to weave a tale that speaks to those of every generation and location. It's a quick read, but don't be fooled, it's jam-packed with heartfelt emotion and wonderful language.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A delight to re-visit this classic Christmas story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an every Christmas classic.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Scrooge is very cold man and likes money the most. And he does'nt like christmas! But one day,three ghosts came to him,and they took him to christmas of past, present and future.I always enjoy this story. I was surprised to know this story had been written in 1843 and has been popular. This book made feel christmas mood and happy. I think children can learn so much for this classic.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What I appreciated this year in A Christmas Carol was how secular, not religious, its story was. I liked Dickens’ dry, ironic humor, used to politely skewer certain people or their habits. This contrasted with his rich descriptions. I love this edition with Schart's lovely illustrations.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The timeless classic of a grumpy old man who gets a wake up call from a ghostly friend/former business partner & some other ethereal beings.
I know the back of the novel I have says that its the "unabridged" version, but this seems much shorter than other copies I've seen, so I can't honestly say if that is true or not. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very nostalgic read. Charles Dickens is a great author, his writing, descriptions, story, and message are great. It is easy to see why this is a classic. The movies hold true to the overall feel of the book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I agree that in this day and age the story is trite, predictuable, overdone and a bit Pollyanna but I think it was quite original for its time and many a story nowadays has gained inspriation from this tale.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love A Christmas Carol. I've read it over and over. It is one of those stories that I will never grow tired of.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Some tales are meant to read aloud, and never is this statement truer than when it is applied to "A Christmas Carol." One would be hard pressed to find anyone would does not like this perennial story, and we all have our special favorites, be they illustrated texts or even movies. But everyone should add this audio version to his or her collection. Award-winning Jim Dale renders a masterful performance in this unabridged version which can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this book a lot. It was a quick read that is very close to the movie if you have seen it. A solid recommendation for sure.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What could one possibly say, that hasn't already been told about this book? It's my 'all time favourite' christmas read! Countless times reread and never a second bored with it! It's an absolute 'must' for every fan of xmas!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Audiobook - I never tire of this wonderful Christmas tale.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I remember reading this book when I was a child. It never occured to me at that time that many movies will be produced depicting the same story but with some variations of course (this is the beauty of Hollywood). This is perhaps what makes a book a best seller the ability to survive time.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Mend your ways. NOW.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5received for Christmas from my parents 1957
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Because everyone knows this story whether from reading it or seeing one of the 100's of movies based on this book I will just be reviewing the audiobook version I listened to narrated by, Tim Curry. I must admit to being a huge Tim Curry fan I will watch anything if he has a role in it so when I found this audiobook at audible I had to get it. I was not disappointed!Tim Curry’s narration is absolute perfection ‘nuff said!5 stars
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lovely pictures grace this large-format edition of the classic.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5His writing is so full of personality; it's wondrous! This is my favorite holiday story, and after viewing dozens of movie versions I finally took time to read the book. Charles Dickens is a grand writer; his verbal illustrations are vivid. 'A Christmas Carol' is an untouchable and timeless tale I think everyone should read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I pick up these graphic novels out of curiosity to find out how these are done. This is first and most popular "Christmas book' by Dickens. It was pretty much a fast read - done in 20 minutes at most. Bright artwork and precise story-telling.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5*** This was a reread. I originally read this book many years ago, and have seen and heard numerous variations since. This time around I listened to the audiobook narrated by Jim Dale, who can do no wrong in my eyes ears.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Jim Dale reads this audio version of the Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, and does a fantastic job of it! Dale is the master narrator of the Harry Potter books and brings all of his character skills and perfect inflections to this reading too. Don’t miss listening to this version; it’s better than reading it yourself, and almost as good as the Muppet movie version!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book, A Christmas Carol, is a fable. In the story a miser goes through a series of life changing events to help him to grow as a person. The book must be read by someone who can dissect the book so its hidden true meaning will shine through!
