Editor reviews

Actor David Ian Davies gives a riveting performance of Victorian novelist Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. His distinguished voice is the perfect complement to the classic text. One Christmas Eve, the miserable and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, as well as the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. He views scenes from his own past, present, and future, and in doing so, begins to understand the error of his ways.

I love this story it's arguably my favourite Dickens tale . However , this narration is not my favourite . I found the speed of reading with hardly a pause for effect was grating to my ears and taste , the reader went off at a frightful pace as if he was rushing to finish and be elsewhere, talking of elsewhere, I shall look elsewhere for a version I can enjoy better . The clarity was good , the delivery , apart from the speed , was clear , the accuracy of the work was also very good .

The characters voices are often annoying, but the narration isn't so bad it's a punishment to listen to. For under a £ it's well worth buying, and I liked the little tie-in with Sherlock Holmes.

I downloaded A Christmas Carol because this is one of my favourite classic books. At work I am lucky enough to be able to listen to my mp3 or audiobooks (Audible), so last week I spent several happy hours listening to A Christmas Carol on 23rd December (my last work day). David Ian Davies is lovely to listen to. Whilst reading this great classic, his voice changes enough for the listener to differentiate between characters. Well worth the pennies (literally) I spent!

Oh I love this story, and this performance.
Christmas is not Christmas without it.

David Ian Davies reads with great vigour in a manner which may even reproduce how Dickens himself declaimed. He deals effortlessly with the range of characters. The original text is slightly modified to suit narration. This is reasonable, but sometimes archaic or obscure words or phrases are modernized. This may annoy the purists, but does not influence my rating!
