This is some of the stories by charles dickens. It contains- A chrismas carol: This is a story many are fammiliar with, me included. I myself have never read this before. But I did enjoy the story and it was to my expectations.- The chimes: This was personally a story I have not once before read. I enjoyed the story. Dickens also here shows the point of the poor and where the rich are cruel and belive the poor can only be evil and such. So it is quite gloomy and I would not disgribe it as a story being read for lighthearted purposes - The cricket of the heart: The story is about John Peerybingle and his wife. They live with their baby and the baby's nanny. There is also some connections to the previous stories here. Not sure if it was done intensionally tho. I did feel that this story took a little longer to get into than the two previous ones.- The battle of life: This story is not as much resolved around chrismas (even tho it is the chrismas season) and so has way less chrismas feeling when reading it. The story is about two sisters. The youngest was in love with him and he left for a few years, after that the man comes back. There is another man aswell wh was avced to leave the city and so he brings this youngest sister with hm and leave during the party for Alfred (man that just cae home). In the youngest sisters adsence the biggest take its shot as she also liked Alfred . For me this story honestly was not the most exiting for me. And I am not sure how much I liked it- The haunted man: The story about a chemist, and lecturer in the subject, Mr Redlaw whose home and teaching establishment occupies part of an old educational building in a somewhat poor and rundown part of London. It is a typical ‘Be careful what you wish for' kind of story.So to rewiev the whole book as a whole, I in general enjoyed reading this book. I did however did not feel it was a spectacular read. The writes was how one might expect but I did not struggel to understand. Dickens is really good at writing disriptions and you really can live in the writing. Overall: 3/5
