It's hard to believe that I have spent a quarter of my life reading this book every Christmas Eve! I was almost going to choose a different Christmas novella to read but thankfully decided to continue the tradition. So often, we forget the true meaning of Christmas, not to mention, the true meaning of life. A Christmas Carol is about love, it's about friendships and family. Living in Florida for the last six months and coming home for Christmas has made me realize how important being with people I love is.

I don't think a book like this will ever be written again. This is a book about morality, about love, about life; it's all built together without being watered down by religion or politics; this is truly a book written for everyone and about everyone. When Scrooge sees his childhood self neglected by his friends, he sees his family, his employer, and the ending of his past love affair, he realizes how much of his life he has forgotten to remember. I love this book with all of my heart, it reminds me of what life is truly about. I hope to be able to share this story with my family every Christmastime. ( )

It's A Christmas Carol. It's one of the best novellas ever written, and probably the best Christmas story. Nothing else needs to be said there.

Specifically reviewing ISBN 9781435170087, the 2019 Fall River Press flexi-bound leather pocket edition (for Barnes & Noble's pocket leatherbound series): it's excellent quality, feels good and sturdy, looks very nice, and fits in your pocket. I've never had a physical copy of this book and it's a little surprising to see how short it actually is. This is the sort of book you re-read again once a year, it won't take very long. ( )

Die Geschichte ist bekannt, trotzdem lohnt sich dieses Buch. Ich empfehle, es auf einem bunten Bildschirm zu lesen, die atmosphärischen Bilder werten das Buch noch einmal deutlich auf. Wirklich schön gemacht! ( )
