Received this today. It's on my wish list because I'm trying to read all of the BBC Top 100 Reads.
A Christmas Carol is ranked 47!
I never realized that it is such a small book. From the movies you would think that it would be much longer.
Anyways, thanks so much for sending this along! :)

I read this during Christmas and reviewed it on my blog but somehow forgot to review it here. So here's the review!
This is a great book to read at this time of year. Everyone knows the story. It's a surprisingly small book - each chapter is reserved for the three different ghosts. It's also part of the BBC Top 100 (number 47). As for the actual book itself, I'm glad that I knew the story previously because at times it was hard to follow. Dickens sometimes went too far into his explanations - and lost me in the middle of it.
But still, the story itself is fantastic. The last chapter - where Scrooge finally comes to his senses - is definitely the best. It really does display the Christmas spirit quite well, and is a great bit of enthusiasm to read at this time of year!
So far I've offered this book to 2 people that have it on their wishlists and neither of them have responded back. We'll see what happens with this thing.
