I honestly was not a fan of Dickens's A Christmas Carol. I found the tiny book boring. It was one of the only times that I enjoyed the movies over the book. I was a bit reluctant on this story even though Dickens didn't write it. I was afraid it would have the same blah to it. As you can see by my rating, I was pleasantly surprised.
I love that this book asks the question of why the ghosts of Christmas spirit would visit Scrooge and give him a second chance and not Marley. That thought never crossed my mind until I saw this book and then I just had to know why. It was well done with seeing Marley grow and change right before your eyes. Quite a heart-warming story and perfect for the holiday season.
