Cleanliness:
This book is as clean as a whistle (where does that expression come from?). Gotta love the classics!
Summary:
I'm pretty sure you already know what this classic is about but for the sake of blogging consistency, here it goes... Ebeneezer Scrooge is one grouchy, old man. He doesn't have a friend in the world because he doesn't seem to have a nice, giving bone in his body. And worst of all, he hates Christmas. But after three unexpected guests visit his home one night his attitude towards life, people, and Christmas changes for the better.
What I Really Liked:
It has an ending that really warms your heart and it will really get you into the Christmas Spirit.
What I Disliked:
It feels wrong to dis a classic but it went a little too fast for me. He quickly becomes repentant for his bad attitude and is easily accepted and loved when he changes his ways. I imagine that is because it is a morale tale meant for the younger population but I wouldn't mind a redo of the story for the adults. One with a more challenging path of forgiveness and change.
Reading Worth:This is an easy, delightful read that is best read at the beginning of the Holiday Season. It will easily get you into the Christmas Spirit.
