Humbug: The Unwinding of Ebenezer Scrooge by Tony BertauskiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am a big fan of A Christmas Carol. I fell in love with it when I was a child and Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol was first on TV. It is my one tradition at the Christmas season. I have seen many versions and read the original many times.
If you are a purist, this is not the version you want to read. While Scrooge is the usual humbug and Marley is dead, and we have ghost of Christmas's past, present and future, that is where the similarities end. Scrooge and Marley founded a software startup called Avocado Industries, yes, you can sub Apple in there if you want to. Marley passes on Christmas Eve and Scrooge's problems start.
As I listened to the audio version, mostly while I was driving, there was a little bit of time lag between the listening that cause a bit of confusion but that is my problem, not the author.
I did feel the story dragged on a little too much at times, that might be because of the listening and not reading. I is hard to say.
Give it a listen (or read). No sex, violence (well a doll gets ripped apart), or anything of an 'adult' nature. Clean for all to read.
