It is the one book that every year will warm our hearts with favorite memories of Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future—and will remind us with laughter and tears that the true Christmas spirit comes from giving with love.

This classic tale is one of my favorite books of all time. A Christmas ghost story that has lasted and inspired generations in just 80 pages; it is truly a masterpiece.

Loved it- could've been a quick read if I'd made the time to read it...It could also be that I've watched so many variations of movies that since I already knew what happened, it didn't keep me that interested.

A classic I never read before and it’s been years since I’ve seen the movie. It was a good read to listen to for this holiday season while writing out Christmas cards. Finished it in about 3 hours.
