Of course I've heard a lot about this story, but I've never read it before and I haven't watched any of the movies. I really enjoyed reading it and it got me in the mood for Christmas.
Reading "Owen MEany" at the same time I had to imagine Owen as the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come which was a little irritating.
I msut say I would have liked the story to continue and read more of what happens after Scrooge's change. ...more

I have the movie, but I want to read it too!

In that case I see the movie before I can understand the caracter "Scrooge" - to be a "stubborn old man" have definitly a reason. Maybe fom hem's childness, the death Partner; who knows?

I hope that God teach the people not in this horrible way to learn to be have a good remorse. But the people never learned easy, how much heavier cost of deterrence; so leran we much faster.Isn't it?

Merry Christmas to everyone :) ...more
