Read for Sheologians book club this past month and was surprised by how much I loved it! I’m very familiar with the various movie renditions, having watched them dozens of times growing up, but the book is even more full of character. Maybe I’ll start a tradition of reading this every couple Christmas seasons along with, or even instead of one of the films. Scrooge is ridiculously well-written in every phase of his heart transformation. Turns out Dickens is amazing at portraying subtleties of character. I was thoroughly gutted by some of the more emotional moments in the story, despite knowing they were coming. The last chapter certainly did not disappoint. Fantastic book.
