A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
(#47 on The Big Read. My Combined score: 28)

Maybe the first book I’ve read from this list that I knew the whole story going in having seen a lot of the movie adaptions.

Writing: 9
Characters: 10
Story: 9
Total: 28 out of 30

Overall: I have to admit I was surprised how well the book met my expectations.  About half way through I started kind of dreading turning each page because it was taking me closer to the end.

Recommendations: Any who likes to read and anyone who likes Christmas.
