Product Description
Some historians argue that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol may have “saved” the classic traditions of Christmas and morality at a time of epic decline for such traditions. Upon relief in December 1843 the tale was an instant success. A Victorian morality tale of a bitter ancient miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, A Christmas Carol tells the tale of his profound experience of redemption during the course of a Christmas Eve night.

I agree with what Micheal Levin writes at a website called The Daily Objectivist, Scrooge was better at the beginning! He says: “You know the ritual: boo the curmudgeon initially encountered in Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, then cheer the sweetie pie he becomes in the end. It’s too terrible no one notices that the curmudgeon had a point-reasonably a few points, in fact. There can be no arguing with Dickens’s wish to show the spiritual advantages of like. But there was no need to make the object of his lesson an entrepreneur whose thoughts and practices benefit his employees, society at large, and himself. Must such a man expect no fairer a fate than to die scorned and alone? Bah, I say. Humbug.” How could it be that an obscure website like The Daily Objectivist would have the most intelligent review of this book that I’ve ever seen?

This book is by far one of the most dull books I have ever read. I do not recommend it to anyone. It was hard for me to keep up with whatever was going on.

Before reading A Christmas Carol, I automatically gave the book the highest regard probably because I was influenced by the Disney’s movie version, at least that’s what I thought the book will be like. It didn’t turn out to be the case. Admittedly I am a huge fan of Charles Dickens’ books and consider David Copperfield one of my favorite books, I felt A Christmas Carol a drastic departure from leader’s usual style. What I noticed the most in the book is the usage of the many five dollar words (This might be the reason, I realize now, that there are alternate versions of the tale and especially in abridged form). Not only persons words made the book hard to read, they helped to provide detachment for me from enjoying the tale and being immersed in the tale. What is worse, I simply didn’t like the tale all that much because I felt my motivation to be missing when Ebenezer Scrooge was hand-selected for the journey. Thinking of the kind of a person he is, why can’t a worthier person be selected? That’s why I prefer the tale of It’s a Wonderful Life over A Christmas Carol, and it did take place to a better person than Scrooge. One worst part about A Christmas Carol is the force to like Christmas to death. I am not too keen about this approach because it feels too religious in the incorrect way. Then again, the entire book was too religious for my taste with a lot of overtones in a spiritual sense. Charles Dickens also gives poverty a role in A Christmas Carol, but I didn’t like the part where a character is judged by how he views money as he sees fit. All in all, I establish A Christmas Carol a disappointing read, and all of the characters were unmemorable for me.
