I'm not even sure what to say or to think about this book? 

Earlier this year I decided I wanted to start reading Classics - even bought myself a really nice starter set with really pretty covers! So, seeing as it was Christmastime, I decided this would be a good place to start. (Let me preface this with the fact that I knew literally nothing and haven't ever even seen the movie.)

...Hmm...I can't say that I hated it, because the overall story wasn't bad and I liked the idea behind it. I'm known to be a bit of a Grinch or "Scrooge" myself, so I liked the idea of the Spirits coming to visit him and showing him what his life was, is, and had the potential to be. I was glad to see that in the end, it wasn't too late for him to change! 

However; the writing made me feel like I was reading a book in another language. (And before you come at me, yes, I know that it is a classic and written long ago..) There were times where I was reading along and literally felt like I had absolutely zero idea what was going on. I mean overall, I understood what was happening, but it was hard to follow at times. 

I also feel like some of the characters and situations that he was visiting just...didn't flow or make sense? I don't know..maybe I'm just not smart enough to read classics. LOL

Guess I'll have to watch the movie and compare. Or, maybe classics just aren't for me. We'll have to try another and see!
