Customer Reviews

Destined to be a Christmas classic Dickens would have liked.

Marley and the bogel take the reader on a wonderous journey through Scrooges transformation from crudgemudgon to Christmas spirit. Author Tom Mula has created a story destined to be a Christmas classic in it's own right. In the Dickens style the reader views Scrooges change from Jacob Marley's side of the picture. Aided, and sometimes abeted, by the bogel Marley leads Scrooge, himself, the bogel, and the reader along the path to the true meaning of Christmas. Any who read it or have it read to them cannot help but enjoy this story. Bravo to Mr. Mula for creating this work.

Best Christmas story since "A Christmas Carol"

We have made it a tradition to read this story every Christmas. It is EXCELLENT!

A powerful, sensitve and delightful book.

Mr. Mula has created more than an outstanding tribute to the Dickens' original; he has created a modern classic in its own right. Jacob Marley's case is taken up with humor and sensitivity as we follow his personal journey to redeem his former partner, Ebenezer Scrooge.A wonderul book with enormous insight, JACOB MARLEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL will touch you as much the ninth time as it will the first.

A Wonderful Holiday Classic!!

This wonderful little book is a welcome addition to the Dicken's classic. Mula's writing skill, creativity, and love for the original is evident throughout this work. If you love the original, you must have this!

A fine book for reading and giving.

I have read or seen a production of Dickens' A Christmas Carol at least 25 times. Would I really like another version of this same story by a comtemporary author? Yes! I loved this book, and so did the young woman to whom I gave it for Christmas. This is certainly not a substitute for the Dickens' gem, but it is a nice supplement. I'm sure I'll read it many times, and I plan to give more gift copies.
