Title: Better than the movie
Review: Yes, yes, I hear you say: why bother reading this old book when you can watch it on TV, in several different versions, during the holidays. Let me tell you, if anything, this is a better read if you've already seen the movie. The sense of bitter cold in London in 1840, and in Scrooge's heart, are all the more real in this slim text. Scrooge's isolation is shown to be something we have all felt at some time in our lives. His joyous redemption will evoke emotions you didn't know you had. Finally, for those of you who may have been tortured with Dicken's in highschool, this is an easy, single evening read.
