A Christmas Carol

Hugh’s performance was electric!

Released at the perfect time. As soon as tier 4 news struck at 4pm, I yearned for escapism and this was the most fitting remedy.

Let it not escape our memories that this was the book Corbyn said he’d gift to Boris for Christmas last year... There’s something very serendipitous about that as Hugh valiantly campaigns in favour of socialist politics and values. I hope the message of this exquisite masterpiece penetrates the minds of the majority this Christmas - let compassion, empathy, solidarity and kindness fill our hearts.

This is a classic story I can listen and watch over and over every Christmas.
Hugh Grant's narration is excellent and refreshing.

I have enjoyed listening to this classic Christmas story over the Christmas holidays. The story was well narrated by Hugh Grant.

This is a free gift from Audible and absolutely wonderful. Was wary of Hugh Grant's narration but he actually does a really marvellous job.

I admit I love the stories of Charles Dickens, and a Christmas Carol is one of my favourites so I was probably half way to the five star review anyway .... but Hugh Grant has taken it to a whole new level. Listening to it has given me a new understanding of the story. It was great that this version included parts that the films tend to leave out, so there are less familiar elements, which I found rounded out the story as Dickens had intended. I shall certainly listen to this again next Christmas...... and I hope Hugh Grant reads more of the Dickens classics because he has such a way of reading that the story is made clear. Brilliant.

A beautiful rendition of a beloved classic. I really enjoyed Hugh Grant’s rendition. I am grateful for a very pleasant Christmas afternoon! Will he read some more Dickens?

I always watch every version of A Christmas Carol on TV. This is my first time of listening to it and it was a pleasure. Hugh Grant has a lovely reading voice. Thank you Audible for a wonderful Christmas present

It's been many years since I read the book and out and about today this audio book really got me into the Cheistmas Spirit.

A well told classic of Christmas. Beautiful.
I can recommend it and this telling.

At the ripe old age of thirty two I have finally taken the plunge and read my first ever work by Charles Dickens. He's an author I had wanted to try for a good long time and I can honestly say that it was well worth the wait.

A Christmas Carol is THE Christmas story that pretty much everyone, whether they've read it or not, is familiar with. Familiar though I was, I was still pleasantly surprised by how well-written it was and how much of it I didn't actually know from my pop-culture education of this story.

Dickens wit is wonderful and the way he brings not only characters, but places to life through his vivid descriptions and lovely turns of phrase left me absolutely miserable that this was so short a piece. His wit was not the only high point, that was shared by how much of a tear-jerker he can turn a piece of writing into. He did a good job of making the reader, myself at least, feel a whole range of emotions across the length of the story.

More Dickens in my future, I hope.

Hugh Grant did a wonderful job as narrator, so good in fact that, at times, I forgot there was only one person doing the narration. His vocal range is brilliant and he really served to add a new dimension to the already well-fleshed out characters in A Christmas Carol.
