A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Book Summary
An Apple Books Classic edition.
It’s Christmas Eve in Victorian England. While some families don’t know where their next meal will come from, Ebenezer Scrooge sits in his large home, counting his vast wealth. Like every other night, he’s alone. But when he’s visited by three spirits, Scrooge is forced to reflect on his callousness and stinginess.
Dickens was passionate about affecting social issues through his stories. A Christmas Carol offered readers the gift of empathy toward working families, orphans, and others who encountered daily challenges. Almost 200 years and many adaptations later—including the Apple Original Film Spirited, a modern musical rendition starring Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds—this beloved tale remains a resonant celebration of generosity and community.

我. good
Inspiration. I have seen the movie countless times. But this year I thought to read the book. It’s been a worthy decision for sure.
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I read this little novel every year at Christmas! Other than the Story of Jesus’s birth, it is the best Christmas tale of redemption ever, pure fiction but gloriously told. You cannot read it without being enriched by its pathos and joy to carry you through Christmas time!!
My annual holiday read... Timeless, must-read classic.
A Christmas Carol. So inspiring, A Christmas Carol never gets old. Love it.
Pretty good, but the pace is a little fast. This was a decent, thought provoking read, and I can see why it’s considered a classic. I feel that it’s a bit too short, though, at just over a hundred pages, and the pace is slightly too fast. I also have questions as to what led the main character to become obsessed with gain as a younger man. It feels like this was glossed over by the author, and I couldn’t find a clear answer later in the book. So, overall, I can’t quite give this one five stars, but please read it if you want a taste of the holiday classics.
A classic for a reason.. A classic as old as time. Still enjoy reading it, even after these years.
Inspirational.. One of the best I’ve read. Timeless.
Wonderful book. This is a wonderful book that will always be a classic. It is a living symbol of the ability of mankind to change for the better.
I read Dickens classic story every year. There is so much more to the story than you can get from even the best theatrical productions. More complexity and deeper meaning than can be portrayed in just a few minutes.
Great read. Definitely gets me in the Christmas mood.
I am a better person because of A Christmas Carol. Charles Dickens allows me to reflect on my own life through Scrooge’s adventure. I am a better person having read this book.
Eh. The book was a kitty to much Christmas I would rather read go go power rangers or even Mickey Mouse
Bah humbug!. Bought it. Read it. Loved it.
Christmas Carol. God Bless, God Bless Us Every One!!!!!
Every bit as good as ANY movie!. Every year, during the holidays, I watch one version or another, A Christmas Carol. Because it’s such a huge holiday favorite of mine, I will sometimes watch more than one, depending on how many of my favorite versions are on television. I love the 1999 TV adaptation with Patrick Stewart and I also think A Diva’s Christmas Carol is a great movie! Not very many years ago, I bought the book when I found it for sale in a thrift store. I loved it! Incredible story! What was even more awesome was discovering just how faithful the 1999 film version was! I’ll never stop watching the movies, but reading the book will be a Christmas tradition from now on!
Bo-ring. Charles Dickins doesn't use sensory details 😵
Still a classic but not that special. I was a little disappointed with this book this book was good but the Disney movie is better Why because I feel like that the Disney movie has more emotion than any other version
Great. A classic tale of redemption.
Awesome. Classic story
A treat!. What a pleasure, what a treat to read A Christmas Carol aloud the fortnight leading up to Christmas to our 7 year old son. The language is fun and a bit odd for him, the pictures interesting, and he knows the jist already from the muppets version, so it was just a real pleasure for us parents to experience all the original language and not just the most quotable quotes! Lovely!!
JI’m was my time. KI’m was my time
Awesome. Awesome READ IT !!!!!!!
I would read to my children. this beautiful book every Christmas Eve. Now I’m proud to see my daughters carry on the tradition with my grandchildren. This year my daughters and I are each reading a chapter with all 6 grandchildren on FaceTime. I can’t wait. Start a beautiful tradition with this beautiful heartwarming story.
Great Book. I think this book is marvelous. It is the must read book to remind people of what Christmas is really about.
A Christmas miracle. This book is so much like the movie an I really like how the story is in general.
A beautiful holiday read.. The classic story we all know and love in its true form.
Everyone should read this. I read this every Christmas season. It gives me hope and joy to go though the year.
Classic. For the last decade it has been a family tradition for me to read A Christmas Carol aloud to my wife the week before Christmas. It never gets old and remains a beautiful and timeless tale of redemption. God bless us everyone.

The Christmas carol. This was a very good book. Very well written it tells a great story.
A wonderful read. And the illustrations from what I imagine to be an early edition of the work, truly added to the pleasure of the story.
A beautiful Christmas classic.. A wonderful classic. It was so good I read it in one night; a pleasure I haven’t had in some time. A must read for the holidays.
Christmas carol. Christmas carol is a long story but it has a nice finish
Scrooge is naughty. I don’t like books where people are bad
Scrooge. *spoiler alert* I give this book a 1 star because Scrooge turns out to be gay and that’s no good
Beautiful story. Thoroughly enjoyed escaping to this story and was very warming to read
A christmas carol. An amazing book must get , cant belive its free !!!!!! Great story line and such a good message , GREAT GET IT!!!!!!!!!
Christmas 🎄. 👍🏻
Great book. A.Christmas Carol has always been a book I wanted to read and it has taken me. Within just 7 days before my 75th birthday to do so. I always enjoyed the film where Scrooge is played by that wonderful comic actor Alistair Sim, and other versions done by animation and have always been fascinated by the story. New iPad purchase has allowed me the privilege.
Very uplifting classics!. Enjoyed reading the good old classic to my daughters. :)
Great!. Just a great book and very christmassy!
🤕🤕. They should translate it to English 😴
Enchanting. What an absolute delight !
Amazing Literary Classic. Amazing book, extremely hooking. Read this every christmas. I love it. Definitely worth the read.
A Christmas caril. An amazing Christmas story would definitely read!
nope. boring
Best book ever.. A Christmas Carol is the best book I have ever read. Fab.
A Christmas Carol. A magical book as good as any film
SCRUNKY DUNKY SCROG. scroggle is my grunky uncle, my favourite character is Mr.Birling & i think the best part is when romeo shoots scrunk
Absolutely amazing. This is the best book ever!
A powerful message. There is a lesson in this work, which teaches - never before encountered in another work in the same way - of eschatology with more than a little shade of darkness. Instead, the reader if he can create that sympathy, in truest sense of the word, he shall realise that the theme, which is the most obvious to convey the real theme is not its true one; but man’s awakening, as Scrooge has his from his slumberous past, might be said what underlies it, and moves us closer to that immanent message in all its pages. It is perhaps Dickens’ finest work and this will be realised if not for an ad captandum reading of the text.
A Christmas Carol. Loved reading this again, in its original format( first read this 60 years ago and loved it then!). Such a classic My 15 year Granddaughter is currently reading it at school, there's hope for the educational system yet!! All should read this.
A Really good Christmas Book. A really good Christmas book for friends and families. Recommended for people 8-adult.
Amazing. A good book to read to your children on Christmas night
My Review. This is the very first time I have read this wonderful classic by one of the worlds greatest Literary Geniuses. I found the whole experience incredibly moving so I want to thank you very warmly for making this amazing book available. Three words to describe my response Thrilling. Wonderful. Excellent
A Christmas carol. I have had the privilege of reading this book and I have learned so much from it. We should not only be benevolent at Christmas but all year round and I pray also for the likes of “humbug!” Scrooge to be converted to Ebenezer not just at Christmas but all year long.
Great book!. Would recommend this book for people ages 13+❤️💞
Bob. This is a good book
Too old. This book is too boring and has a bad plot
Roxanna. I think A Christmas Carol is a very detailed book.It is boring for children so I can’t give it a 5.
Ian. Brilliant book far better than the films do justice
Scrog my hero. Gruncle scruncle is such an amazing developed character this book is full of laughs including bob who and the sonic turkey would recommend to anyone
My review. I found this book slightly moving,it had old words which made it feel real
It's a book. It is indeed a book
Very good. It’s really good as it has a twist every now and then and it’s just generally just exciting.
Inspirational. This is the best book I have ever read because it really shows the goodness in people💖
Christmas. A classic tale that should be read every year. No other story about Christmas matches this. The reference to right and wrong can still be shared today in the capitalistic world we live in.
Classic Christmas tale year after year!. Can’t get enough of this story that’s so festive and full of positivity. Everyone should read this especially during Christmas - Dickens can never disappoint!
Amazing book. I suggest you all read it as it may help you if your still in school to further your skills in English literature

Charles John Huffam Dickens (; 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English novelist and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters, and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era.

Dickens edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed readings extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, for education, and for other social reforms.
