A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens - Free Audiobook - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The reader does an outstanding job with this classic tale, so much so that it transports you back to the time of Dickens... and Scrooge. I listen to this version every year to prepare for the Christmas season. Just wonderful!!

Patrick Horgan’s reading of The Christmas Carol is just right... the right amount of emotion, color and diction so that many parts of the text I’ve read repeatedly stood out anew. With a wonderful Dickensian timber and a sotto voce in the right places, Horgan uncovers a very personal and intimate story of which I’d not been aware. Also, from what I can tell at first hearing, unabridged and unedited 💕

Fabulous reading! I have listented to several audiobook recordings of this book, and this one outshines them all. Unfortunately, stave 2 is incomplete, which is the only reason for not having a rating of 5. I do not understand why they would go through the trouble of doing the recording and then upload an incomplete file.

I listen to this every year around Christmas. It is certainly the best production of the story that I have found. The narrator has a great voice. Definitely worth listening to.

Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this podcast. The narrator was not that good -- the volume varied greatly, with parts I could barely hear followed by very loud portions. Also, the narrator seemed to have trouble changing voices, with the voice of some characters hanging on into the next character's line. And then there is the issue of the incomplete Stave 2. If they could fix Stave 2, I would have given 4 stars.
