If you want to introduce yourself to a classic in an easy reading, kid friendly kind of way then pick up this book! Philip Gooden has done a miraculous job making this classic story into a light and easy read with lots of great pictures. This felt so nostalgic and awesome, dipping back into my childhood of watching the film adaptation of this tale over and over. I felt the Christmas spirit and I felt holly and jolly reading about good ol' Scrooge all over again!

What a tale!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sweet Cherry Publishing for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

This was not the book I was looking for when I bought it at Strand Bookstore in Manhattan several weeks ago. I purchased it because I did not have access to my Goodreads app at the time and, so, could not determine which of the two books with similar titles this one was...and my memory was faulty.

In the end, this was not it.

I really wanted a book about the linguistic nuts and bolts of the english language that was more detailed and more rigorous. This book is really meant for a college 101 survey course or a high school english class. It started off interesting but I found myself muddling through history I was already aware of and it took on the feel of a word maven's column in the local newspaper.… (más)

Fun mystery set in Shakespearean days, but with a decidedly modern feel.
