Incredible storytelling spoiled with strange noise
A classic story that I love, nothing can fault it. The narrator's voice is a low bass, so it's sometimes difficult to hear exactly what he's saying, especially if there's ambient noise in the room. But what irks me is the mobile phone "dit diddit dit diddit ditting" on the recording on several occasions. It jerks you out of the suspension of disbelief you need to get fully absorbed in fantasy, and makes you wonder if you're being visited by the Spirit of Nokia 3310s past. Definitely a shame, and having given this recording a chance for two years I'll be looking for another recording.

A great buy at Christmas
I think everyone must have heard or read some version of “A Christmas Carol”, of this much loved Dickens story, it appears to be faithful to Dickens story and I loved the narration by Peter Batchelor, a deep expressive, and mature British voice.
The price of the download is a bargain if you missed the Tom Baker version when it was on the advent offer. A great purchase at Christmas.

Try a different performance.
It's Dickens at his best but the reading is poor. My humble advice is to listen carefully to the sample and then choose a different performance.

Try a different narration
The book is short, concise, and more funny than I imagined, having seen films but never read the original. Typical moralistic story of change you ways or else.....
The narration however is not good, sorry to Peter Bachelor. He reads the speaking voices very well, but the rest is monotonously spoken as if reading a bus timetable, thereby losing the meaning of some sentences. I downloaded this version because it was cheap, and I needed to read it for my book group, but if you love the story, I would recommend a different narrator.
