A Christmas Carol - Review


I really enjoyed this short story.  A quick read that kept my attention and has made me want to read the rest of the Charles Dickens books bound in my copy.

I think I would like to read it again when I have a little more time and then make it a read every year in the run up to Christmas.  

I have learnt a few new words like, skreek and excrescence.  

Once again I am really loving the process of the read a long.  This time it was more enjoyable than when reading North and South.  

Tomorrow I will post a list of the parts I liked the best.

Till tomorrow, be kind.

excrescence! that is my favourite word in the entire book. A pendulous excrescence on the end of a nose that shakes like the gills of a turkey-cock is quite the description!

Merry Christmas

It was a brilliant book Sol. Charles Dickens social reformer with a quill for a sword.

Hey Dave, I hope you are well. It certainly was a good book. I am hoping everyone is enjoying the experience, if not the actual books. I am actually learning quite a few words as I have had to look them up in the dictionary.
