Jacob T. Marley

A fun story to read at Christmas.
Told from the perspective of Jacob Marley, this is his story. Although there are some liberties taken with the original story, Marley's story is one of warmth, forgiveness and kindness; just like Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
This book hasn't the depth and feeling of Dickens but is an interesting background on Marley.
I particularly enjoyed it from when Marley engages with Scrooge and the ghosts visit. The last couple of chapters are interesting. I won't think coincidences in the same way again and will (I hope) see opportunity to help more readily and with more awareness.
A fun story; one I'm glad to add to my Christmas reading queue.

Thanks, Luffy. It's not Dickens but it has its merits. I enjoyed the story.

LOL! Not all but some. He wrote a lot of novels. I have read The Christmas Carol.
