I rate the Christmas carol an 8/10. I really like this classic story. I like the Christmas theme and how it also includes ghosts to make it more interesting and like a fantasy book. It is something I watch with my family multiple times each Christmas. One of my favourite movie versions is Muppets a Christmas Carol By Brian Henson. My family and I watch this movie at least 3 times each Christmas. So, when I found out we were reading the original version I was excited to see how the stories would compare. I thought that the book started off very slow but as I got further in the book things started getting more interesting. My favourite character was Bob Cratchit because he is really hard-working even though he gets paid very little. He is also very kind and loyal. My favourite part was when he was with the ghost of the Christmas Present. I found him really funny and overall, cheerful. I feel like he made the most changes to Scrooge’s overall feelings towards Christmas. My least favorite part was when Scrooge and the spirit of the Christmas Present went to visit his nephew and he was making fun of Scrooge. I also liked how Marley (in some way) was trying to help Scrooge not make the same mistakes that he did. I found it funny how to Scrooge it felt like a lot of time had passed when really he just woke up the next day completely different. I really like this book because it has some great lessons. One of my favourite lessons is that money won’t buy you happiness.
