    I favored the DVD over the written version of A Christmas Carol. Short stories and novels are not as interesting in my opinion. The book had a much darker tone throughout it.

Oates‚ the author‚ is a considerable man who “endeavors to be fair to all parties concerned‚ while at the same time allowing himself the liberty of making psychological surmises within
