 Bring it Back in Print! December 31, 2002

Over the years, I have read and seen enough takes on Dickens' masterwork to make one say "What the Dickens?" over and over again. So I came upon this on a bargain table at my local Waldenbooks and decided I'd at least see what it said. Now at least bringing Scrooge back to help someone else in his situation was a new idea. Ms. Scarborough turned it into a real holiday ride with enjoyable characters and making them all her own and not just modern carbon copies of the originals. By the end, it would have been worth even paying the retail price. Hey,folks, this at least deserves a paperback reissue. In fact, this should even be sent to Patrick Stewart--maybe he'd like to do a follow-up to his marvelous performances on stage,audio, and film. And I know Ms. Scarborough is no unknown writer. This is a "Carol" for the Present and Future.
 Its a computerized wonderful life! December 14, 1999

I enjoyed this book with its twists on the Charles Dickens novel A Christmas Carol. I liked the fact that Scrooge came to the 20th century to rescue a person very much like himself before the ghosts' visits. Ms.monica banks was a great character and fun to listen to. A very worthy christmas novel.
Dickens would love this update of "A Christmas Carol"!! April 15, 1999

Fresh and inventive, this book kept me reading as if I hadn't ever read the original on which it's based. I thought I knew what was going to happen, but in Scarborough's hands, the retelling of the familiar tale is brand-new and wonderfully funny and touching. Definitely a fable for the computer age! Ms. Scarborough is a fabulous writer and I plan to read a lot more of her books!
