review 1: Ive just finished the fifth and final novella of Dickens Christmas series. I struggled with it even though I loved the characters within and it was a pleasure yet again of seeing life through the eyes of a giant in the art of observation. I'm definately going to read it again though next time I will do it in one sitting and try to pay more attention to what was troubling the character Redlaw concerning his sister and his old friend. I missed the cause of his grief till near the end so couldnt understand his true bitterness for most of the book (my fault I know) which slightly marred the full enjoyment for me.
review 2: I had some struggles following this on my first reading, but did manage to get the gist, that a Christmas ghost offered a bitter professor the... more opportunity to live his life without his grievous memories. Humorous and kind characters people his life. He finds out that even troubled times serve a purpose in our lives. I will come back to review this again on my next reading.I listened to this book as a free download from Librivox.org. less
