What Members Thought
Barrymore makes an amazing Scrooge!
Past experience told me I don’t enjoy Dickens, but I have to reevaluate that now. Even though numerous viewings of various adaptations meant I knew all about the ghostly visitations in A Christmas Carol, the original story when (finally) read still managed to awe, thrill and delight me. I’m not quite ready to go back and retry one of his novels, but Dickens has several other Christmas stories so I plan to read another one next year.
I meant to finish this one up by Christmas, but it took me another month. The book started a little bit slowly for me, but it picked up speed. I'm glad I've finally read this one.

The message of the book is “to live fully is to live with an awareness of the rumble of terror that underlies everything. “- Ernest Becker
Always a pleasure to reread around Christmas.
