I may get up and running again later in the year, but don't expect any new reviews for at least the next 2-3 months.Sayethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15921075981432007616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581982979984726349.post-7258431216909137182009-01-28T20:02:00.000-05:002009-01-28T20:02:00.000-05:00I listened to this book for the first time this Ch...I listened to this book for the first time this Christmas. I've always thought the movie versions were overly dark or overly sentimental. The book was neither. I was charmed!<BR/><BR/>I miss your reviews. Are you coming back soon?

I've got a lot of feedeback on this and my Lovecraft stories, but yours is one of the few reviews that went beyond "it was great!" and I thank you again. You also came up with a coule of good observations on Dickens. Yes he is ponderous and sentimental, but in <I>A Christmas Carol</I> those traits actually help the story (also the fact that as a novella, it kept those traits to a minimum).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks a third time for the review. Oh, and yes, I'm American (Long Beach, California to be exact - the L.A. area).<BR/><BR/><B>-SJ</B>Smokestack Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06253933872608999580noreply@blogger.com
