5.0 out of 5 stars This is a very moral story for kids, December 18, 2001
By Lisa Lawson (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quite Disappointing, December 10, 2001
By Tres M Adames (Wilmore, KY United States) - See all my reviews
Before I bash this book completely, I must admit one thing. The concept of a sequel to "A Christmas Carol" is brilliant. So is the idea of Tiny Tim recieving a visit from three of his own ghosts. This is all that is noteworthy. The story, however was terrible. I found that buying this book, and reading it, was a waste of time and money. The novel is dull in prose and the language is boring. It tries to strike emotion within the reader but fails to do so. It ends up just sounding mushy. The characters are flat, especially Timothy who is supposed to be a dynamic character.

The book is also littered with political correctness. By reading it, it was obvious that the novel was written in modern day with a multicultural influence. The novel also included way too many historical facts. Dicken's original is a timeless novel. With this book, you have to know your history. The magic of Dicken's Christmas Carol is that it revolves around the everyday lives of people during that day. There is a sort of quaintness about it. In this (...)novel, the story is centered around major world events and happenings.

The other people who rated this book with "5 stars" obviously have not read the original nor been exposed to real literature. I suggest skipping out on this one and reading the original: Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol."

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

2.0 out of 5 stars This seems too much like a first draft
