Dickens words are soooooooo descriptive...your imagination can see everything

Read very well, did different parts/voices believable

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Scrooge actually comes around sooner than I recall the movies depicting.

My Favorite

A Dickens classic that never gets old. I love this audio production and listen to it every year.

Beautiful

beautiful reading and narrative of this beloved classic novel. reader is enthusiastic for all charcters

Great book, fuzzy audio

Classic story, great performance, but the audio quality could be better. On the quiet side and a bit rough.

Volume Needs To Be Fixed, but Overall Convenient.

had to read it for a class, so it's good to cut down the time and also multi-task. Wasn't a fan of the story because some parts were roundabout and flowery (which personally I would've skimmed through had I been reading it).
Voice acting was pretty great, but I think the editor could've done a better job of fixing sound the volumes. Sometimes it's too loud and sometimes it's too quiet. I, very often, had to turn up my volume to hear the mumbles only to have them blasted out by the "booming"/charismatic voices. But besides that, it's worth the couple bucks.
