Christmas Carol the Graphic Novel: Original Text
Christmas Carol the Graphic Novel: Original Text | Charles Dickens
3 posts | 4 read
One Christmas Eve, after being particularly cruel to his employee, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, who tells him that he will be visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, Future. Each ghost shows him things that rekindle the joy and spirit of Christmas within his heart and awaken his goodwill toward his fellow man. In typical fashion, Dickens deals with social injustice in a way that transcends the 19th century. This illustrated version of the classic holiday tale is brough to life with an illustrated Character List (like a Dramatis Personae), 134 pages of color story artwork, and fascinating support material that details the life and work of Charles Dickens as well as information on Victorian England.

BINGO #2! This is the best I have done with #bookspin. Maybe because i stacked it with mostly holiday books.

The book was a fun rendition of the original classic. I truly enjoyed it.

TheAromaofBooks This has been my best month as well. In my case it's definitely because I have focused on fluffier reads this month!! 4y

This is a favourite story of mine at Christmas. This edition is a new version for me this year but it was very good. It still follows the story but allows a more visual experience. The images are well drawn and full of colour. Its an easy and quick read if you find the traditional versions a bit heavy going. #MerryReaders #WinterGames2020 #festiveflicks. 25pts for holiday read plus 10 pts for festive flicks readathon. 36 pts.

Graywacke Ok, I missed it. When did you change your profile picture to that crazy adorable pup? 4y
kezzlou85 @Graywacke thanks. A few weeks ago that was my dog Alfie, he died earlier this year but was such a funny dog. 4y

So I had not realized that this graphic novel came in 3 different written styles. The version I got from the library was the quick text version. Which all in all made the story bland and felt like way to much was removed to make the read go quickly. You could just tell some parts were missing vital information. At least I know the story haha.
20pts holiday read, 1 pt= 21 pts
