I enjoyed every word of this book. I wonder if it makes a difference which edition you read? ?Do the publishers play with the language.<br /><br />I did enjoy your comments.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501259287565067209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-82769151099506986202010-12-01T15:26:02.374+00:002010-12-01T15:26:02.374+00:00I remember reading it long ago...felt good to read...I remember reading it long ago...felt good to read this.Sanandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817075206507824479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-61678789416375827482010-11-29T17:56:22.720+00:002010-11-29T17:56:22.720+00:00Wow...it was your first read of this book?

Perhaps another version of the story with or without illustrations would suit you better...after all the same old story isn't really the "same old" when it's been redone. Something changes in one form or another. Agreed on the audience though...it's actually pretty scary at times for little kids. Have you seen the new CG version with Jim Carey? Just came out on DVD...pretty good actually but they kept the scare factor too. Happy reading (or watching...)!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067420839553243250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-35089812940045102342010-11-29T08:38:03.711+00:002010-11-29T08:38:03.711+00:00Last year I read/reviewed, The Man Who Invented Ch...Last year I read/reviewed, <a href="http://bookscandycorn.blogspot.com/2009/12/man-who-invented-christmas-by-les.html" rel="nofollow">The Man Who Invented Christmas</a> which is a behind the scenes look at A Christmas Carol. This year I plan to read Dickens' story for the first time. Maybe I'll enjoy it more with the background knowledge I now have. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog today and commenting. <br /><br />Aloha from RobRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16202664677801596650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-46048577138896893792010-11-29T07:13:36.817+00:002010-11-29T07:13:36.817+00:00Nice review.

Not exactly light reading, but I've enjoyed the ones I've read... especially "A Tale of Two Cities". <br /><br />I liked this one, but I can certainly understand why most folks enjoy the movie/tv versions.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-20303884877366875462010-11-29T00:42:13.346+00:002010-11-29T00:42:13.346+00:00Like most people I feel completely familiar with t...Like most people I feel completely familiar with the story and yet have never actually read it.
