Very Dull Narrator
Reviewed: 12-02-24
I love this story and already have multiple versions by various narrators. I love listening to this story during the Christmas season. However, I’m glad I did not waste a credit on this version. He didn’t do voices, or if he did, they all sounded the same.

I have loved these books since childhood. Susie Berneis does such a good performance with all the voices.

Story
Charles Dickens' story of solitary miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is taught the true meaning of Christmas by the three ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, has become one of the timeless classics of English literature. First published in 1843, it introduces us not only to Scrooge himself but also to the memorable characters of underpaid desk clerk Bob Cratchit and his poor family, the poorest amongst whom is the ailing and crippled Tiny Tim.

My Favorite Short Story of All Time
Reviewed: 12-19-16
Excellent story read by an excellent actor. The performance was excellent. Tom Baker did a superb job with the various voices. This is the third rendition of this story that we have on Audible and they are all done well, but this may be my favorite. There is just something about Tom Baker's rendition that grabs you. I'd love to listen to more stories read by him.
