This book was an eye opener. Not that I am as bad as Scrooge , but sometimes in the hussle bussle of day to day life , we tend to be self occupied , a teeny bit selfish and somewhat greedy. Reading the man Scrooge was , and the dramatic change he underwent on Christmas Eve , makes me optimistic about the humankind. Agreed it's just fiction , but then who knows, some other Scrooge or near -Scrooge might have been moved by this book to change into a better person and spread munificence and cheer t

Christmas Eve is the best night to read this delightful story of the dangers of how people can waste their life - and so I have, again.
Yes, the writing style is of its age, but that's part of its charm.
I've always loved the message and wish everyone would heed its importance.
A superb cautionary tale. ...more

The Christmas season isn’t Christmas without reading this book. I laugh and cry ever time I read this book. I love the repentant journey Scrooge encounters. I love his sheer happiness and joy that he has a second chance at life. I hope I can always remember and feel this kind of hope.

My ALL TIME favorite book... about hope.... healing from the past and moving on to make your world (and others) a better place!!!!!!!!!
Just a wonderful story. No matter how many times it has been re-imagined, the original book is just a pleasure. What must it have been like to read this book for the first time when it had just come out? Or hear it read by Charles Dickens every Christmas Eve for a number of years. Even being familiar with the story, it's a must read classic.
