Really enjoyed: A Christmas Carol
A Christmas Carol has a strong core idea — the execution mostly works. The pacing stays moving and the chapters end on good beats. Overall, I’d recommend it to the right reader.

Mixed feelings: A Christmas Carol
⚠️ Spoilers: minor plot detail mentioned below. Mixed feelings on A Christmas Carol, but I can see why people love it. The pacing stays moving and the chapters end on good beats. A couple of sections could have been trimmed without losing anything. There’s a specific turning point late in the book that changes the tone hard — that moment will make or break it for you. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.

Mixed feelings: A Christmas Carol
A Christmas Carol is the kind of book that hooks you early if you like its vibe. The pacing stays moving and the chapters end on good beats. A couple of sections could have been trimmed without losing anything. Not perfect, but it did enough to keep me turning pages.
