What Members Thought

Dec 04, 2012 Stephen rated it it was amazing

Shelves: tv-and-movies, z-read-in-2012, literature, all-5-star-reads, tally-50-book-list, and-saw-the-movie

Though I've been familiar with the story for ages I'd never read the original until now.

The story is fantastic. It's engaging and an easy read despite a number of terms that I'm still unfamiliar with. It's justifiably a classic. I was unaware of just how faithfully the old Alistair Simm movie was to the original until now as well. It puts me in the mood to see it again.

Of all Dickens's stories this one seems the most accesible. Well worth the reading time. ...more
