Just asking about the book this time, not any of the films.

Read it. Seen multiple versions of it - though never Patrick Stewart's one man one. And I REALLY want to see it!

I've read it, and like most western English-speakers I've seen more than my fair share of adaptations.

Read it and seen tons of adaptations. The Mickey Mouse one is probably my favorite.

I have read it, and seen numerous adaptations.

I've read the story several times and have long pondered why every TV/film version I've seen has left out the same pieces of plot. Perhaps there are TV/film versions which manage to deliver Dickens' message fully but if so I've not seen them. In the original story Dickens has the Ghost Of Christmas Present make clear that Christmas is something that all of England is sharing bar Scrooge and thus Scrooge is shown to be an outsider. Scrooge may not admit it but he is clearly unnerved by this which is why he fears the arrival of the Ghost Of Christmas Future. What ever TV/film version I've seen completely misses with the arrival of the Ghost Of Christmas Future is that it is not death which Scrooge fears (that would be stupid as Scrooge is too pragmatic to fear the inevitable). No, what hits the High & Mighty Scrooge in his gut and takes his breath away is that nobody cares about his passing, not his fellow businessmen who he sees joking about it, not those who come to prepare him for burial and then loot his room with disparaging remarks about his pathetic possessions. Scrooge didn't care that people didn't love him because being rich and important was enough but he did want to be remembered as a powerful businessman. Instead the the Ghost Of Christmas Future showed him exactly what he had begun to fear, that as soon as he was dead he would be dumped and forgotten like a used up and worthless piece of garbage. That's the core message of Dickens' story, that Scrooge learns he has to give in order to receive, and I've not seen an adaptation which doesn't drop the ball on this.

Read this in high school. Would love to see you review an adaptation or two.

Read it. And I saw so many adaptations I lost count. It's worse than Dracula in terms of adaptations. I loved the Blackadder take on this.

Well, every adaptation makes out that it's not celebrating Christmas that he's doing wrong, while in the book it's just that he's cheap and views all holidays as a waste of time, so I think we can agree that it's often badly adapted :-)

I have too!

I have read it once, back in highschool, though I did listen to an Audible version of it last year near Christmas, with Tim Curry as the narrator.

Have you seen Muppets Treasure Island? That was a good adaptation too! The Muppets are the best! :)

I know I read the original at some point, though the version I read the most was basically a short novelization of the Disney movie with Scrooge McDuck.

Only parts of it because I used to play one of the characters at the Fezziwigg's Party at The Dickens' Christmas Fair

I've read it a couple times, much easier than Great Expectations and my favorite adaptation of it is probably the Mickey's Christmas carol. The music gets me every time.

I've read it for a college course, but was not particularly impressed. It kinda goes with my utter contempt for most things Dickens has done.

I'm pretty sure every kid whose attended school in the US read it in grade 7

arthur D. gonzalez-martin

I've listened to the audiobook. Most of it was alright, but there were spots I really wanted the text to re-read a few times.

I used to read this every December...one stave a week, then stave five on Christmas morning. It started with Dad reading it to us, then I read it to younger siblings (I felt so grown-up, first time I read the end to the whole family), then just Dad and I reading it by ourselves. He probably still does; this is his favorite Christmas story.

I have, but I was a child so I don't really remember a lot of it now

I'll just weigh in on the side of not read so it won't seem so empty there.

Does an audiobook count as having read the book?

Anonymous

I've read the book many times

Steve Harper

Yes, I've read it - the only Dickens I've been able to get through.

arthur D. gonzalez-martin
