Review: A Christmas Carol
I did read A Christmas Carol, and I do like to write at least a capsule here about everything I read. Honestly, Carol has become so much a part of the popular culture that there’s not much at all to say about it. In fact, the thing that struck me most is that the source material brings so little to the story that the movies, plays, comics, etc. have not.
Carol really is a simple, well-told story about a miserly old misanthrope who is led back to the path of righteousness by spectral visitors. It’s been completely assimilated into the culture. I didn’t get much new out of reading the original.
