Over lunch for the past couple of weeks I have read aloud this novella to my sons. All three of us were familiar with the story (via abridged versions, audio performances, movies etc.) but enjoyed hearing it directly from Mr. Dickens. I liked his humor (a surprise to me!) and how he sometimes talked directly to the reader. His sentence structure is sometimes lengthy, which made reading aloud more difficult at points.
Mr. Lynch's illustrations are stunning. Some images may scary for younger listeners.
*Highly recommend.
-I own this book.
