5.0 out of 5 stars This is a very moral story for kids, December 18, 2001

Lisa Lawson (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Timothy Cratchit's Christmas Carol, 1917 (Paperback)

There have been a couple of bad reviews on Amazon about this book, but I think the reviewers have not thoroughly read the book. I also feel that they may be gunning for the author because he had a brilliant idea.
The author (Dale Powell) is a middle school teacher, and this book is written for kids- it is full of history that is craftily woven into the tale. That is part of its brilliance.
Also Powell acknowledges in the preface that he is in no way a Dickens and fully acknowledges his "shortcomings to the master" as he puts it.
I am also a teacher and the author has nothing for which to apologize. He created a great moral tale that my students and I thoroughly enjoyed. Some of my students thought it was better than the original, which is NOT timeless, but laced with antiquity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfully written story that tugs at ones heart strings., November 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Timothy Cratchit's Christmas Carol, 1917 (Paperback)

I found the sitting time to read this book to be time well spent. The author successfully forwarded Dickens' character ahead to 1917, while blending in a somewhat style of Charles Dickens well accompanied by his own unique stlyle. I would recommend this book to anyone who is seeking a some sort of chicken-soup-for-the-soul story to warm your heart over and over.

This classic novel-turned sequel dots the "i" in prize...as in "Nobel Peace Prize". This wonderful work of literature have moved me to tears each of the FIFTEEN times I have read it.
