I've never loved A Christmas Carol, although I know many people do. It seemed so barren to me. I never cared about Scrooge, and his conversion in the end never mattered to me. 

This is the first time I've listened to it as an audiobook, and boy, did that ever change my mind. I absolutely loved the experience of listening to it. The narrator for the version I listened to is Tim Curry, and he brought a lot of emotion into the story. I cannot think of a more perfect narrator for this book, and I'm grateful to have found this version. In his reading, Scrooge is by turns angry, bitter, bored, scared, silly, and joyful. I cried through most of the book as I really began to care about Scrooge and to see some of his foibles in me. Bravo!
