Rating: Summary: The greatest book of all time Review: I love this book and all its movie versions. I would love to see the sequel to it made into a movie(Timothy Cratchit's Christmas Carol,1917 by Dickens and Powell)

Rating: Summary: The best story that portrays christmas tradition Review: The Christmas story is one of the most well know stories in history. It is not just a story, it shows how people should, and shouldn't act on Christmas holiday. The Christmas story is a great book, and even though it is old, it is still popular.
Rating: Summary: A Christmas Carol is one of the best holiday novels in hist Review: Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol is by far one of the greatest holiday novels ever. It was first printed in the winter of 1843 and it is still in printing to this day. This classic story of Christmas joy and Christmas hate has been one of my favorite books of all time. The interaction between Ebenezer Scrooge and the supernatural is humorous and touching. When Scrooge sees the troubles the Crachits are having with money, tiny tim, etc., it is moving to see Scrooge change his way of treating bob and a number of other people. I hope that this novel will hold its ground as one of the greatest holiday novels man has known.
Rating: Summary: A Great book for the people who have no idea about Christmas Review: It is a great book for the people who do not know how to react a nice holiday like Christmas. It is written in a very clear English, and it's good to be read by everyone at any age.
Rating: Summary: Stewart's interpretation is triumphant! Review: Listening to this is better than the video. I would love to hear Stewart read the sequel that I found here at Amazon< "Timothy Cratchit's Christmas Carol, 1917". The author's name is Dale Powell. I am a teacher and I use Stewart's version faithfully!
Rating: Summary: Fresh tale of redemption no matter how familiar! Review: We all know the story of Scrooge and the ghosts that visit him one Christmas. However, reading the story itself proved to be one of the best Christmastime activities I've done!This story of Scrooge's redemption is thought-provoking and inspiring. If this book can be read and NOT inspire "Christmas cheer," then something is seriously wrong with the world today. Read this book this Christmas, and God bless us -- every one.
Rating: Summary: Inspirational In More Ways Than One Review: The story of how a man who forsook cheer learns again the value of charity is timeless and worthy of being told and retold each Christmas.Ebeneezer might be saying Christmas is humbug at first,but deep down inside he has a longing for friendship and good cheer which is brought to the surface by the timely visits of Christmas Spirits-who ended up giving him the Christmas Spirit. Perhaps on that glorious Christmas morning Scrooge knew that the world was still greedy and grubby- but realized that if he changed,he could make a difference,however small.Scrooge thus brightened up the lives of his relatives,his clerk,the chairty workers-and,of course,Tiny Tim. Ebeneezer Scrooge remains an example for all.Too many people have given in to sardonic atitudes- yet this world would be such a better place if we realized the power of virtue.(Better get off my soapbox.)
Rating: Summary: It was fantastic! Review: This is one of the best books ever written! It points out the true meaning of Christmas, and teaches a very valuable lesson. I think that it is a real treasure, and that anyone who doesn't absolutely love it doesn't entirely understand it.
