A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
2.0

» QUICK OVERVIEW «
Stars: ★★☆☆☆
Plot: ★★★★☆
Readability: ★★☆☆☆
Characters: ★★☆☆☆
Writing: ★★☆☆☆
Recommend: ✗

» PLOT «
A Christmas Carol tells the story of a bitter old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation into a gentler, kindlier man after visitations by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come.

The idea of the plot is great, but the characters don't draw me into the story.

» READABILITY «
If I had read this regularly, this wouldn't be particularly easy to ready, but luckily I had the audiobook.

» CHARACTERS «
The characters are meh, I don't really like or hate any of them.

» WRITING «
The writing makes this book less enjoyable. I just feel that it wasn't told in a way that develops the story and characters well.

» OVERALL «
This was my second read through of this book, and both times I used the audiobook. I like the idea of this book, just not the actual book. :/

I read this for a 24 hour readathon... so I wasn't really paying all that much attention honestly.
