Negative Positive
Title: A classic, for sure...
Review: I think everyone has seen at least 3 versions of this in movie form (I know I have!) but how many have read the story? I hadn't so I grabbed this to read to have something with a little holiday spirit. It's interesting. I guess because I'm used to seeing the movies, which they have to flesh out a bit and use rich colors and holiday cheeriness, I wasn't expecting the story to be so... simple.The language (from the mid 1800s I believe) can be a bit challenging for those of us who need a little help here and there with anything beyond the modern English language, but it really wasn't too bad. I enjoyed it, but it was hard for me not to compare it to the movies and put faces to the various actors who have played the parts.It's still definitely worth a read. You can get it free from several sources on the 'net or from Amazon, of course. Give a whirl, but be prepared to see Disney characters in your head at times ;)
