I read this just before Christmas (2010) and really enjoyed it! I have watched the Albert Finney film (Scrooge) every year since I can remember but I'd never read the book. I don't particularly like Dickens (so dark and depressing) and I always thought it would be really long. It turned out to be really short and a quick read and the dark descriptions didn't bother me so much in this book, either because they were well balanced with lighter scenes or because it was just a shorter book. It was uplifting and when I finished reading it I was happy and wanted to be a better person. No movie could really do it justice, definitely worth the read!
