Tim Cratchit's Christmas Carol

I didn't think anyone would ever be able to do justice to Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol, however Jim Piecuch did a marvelous job with his sequel to the classic with TIM CRATCHIT'S CHRISTMASCAROL! What a beautiful heartwarming story he wrote continuing Tim Cratchit's story as an adult who was inspired by the help of Mr. Scrooge to become a doctor and surgeon. Jim Piecuch was able keep true to the Dickens' story by adding more lovable characters as well as bringing back a few of the old. If you loved the Christmas Classic A Christmas Carol, then you will not be disappointed in Jim Piecuch's sequel to the novel,TIM CRATCHIT'S CHRISTMAS CAROL. You will be overjoyed to see the man that Tim has become.

Tim Cratchit's Christmas Carol - The Sequel to the Celebrated Dickens Classic is a very much must read. It is about Tiny Tim who is now grown up. Once you begin reading this book you will not be able to put it down until you finish it. I enjoyed reading it very much. I gave it 5 stars but it deserves more. I highly recommend it to all.

Declaring a new novel to be THE sequel to a recognized classic such as “A Christmas Carol”would seem to set near impossible expectations, but in all honesty, I would have little qualm about admitting that Piecuch’s novel fits the title wonderfully. Although I did have doubts at first, after reading this delightful story, I can honestly call myself a believer.The book is itself a substantial and complete literary accomplishment. The supporting characters are unique and realistic. Piecuch gives each of them real life of their very own. The reader makes many new friends through this novel and is left not wondering how to make the connection to the original classic story, but instead, how, if ever, this story can continue on, which makes it very fitting for a Christmas story indeed.What a great way to celebrate the holidays for those of us who find so much pleasure in literature.

Tim Cratchit’s Christmas Carol by Jim Piecuch has all the atmosphere of its predecessor, the feel of London, the warmth of the season and even a cameo appearance by Ebenezer, himself! I bow to Jim Piecuch for his ability to create a warm tale of Christmas, of helping others, of paying forward, of finding love and of believing in the Season. His characters were beautifully drawn, full –color, and exaggerated when needed, to depict the selfishness that so often mars life. Mr. Piecuch has created his own warm and inviting Christmas tale to share the meaning of Christmas for generations to enjoy.

This was a thoroughly Christmas-y story. I liked Tim but even more I liked the supporting cast - Ginny, Bridget, Henry and the others. These were characters I really rooted for. Watching Tim take a step back from the life he had kind of fallen into and reevaluate where he ended up was nice. The end of this book was really fun and Christmas-y and there were several moments that I had happy tears in my eyes.It was nice to see Tiny Tim all grown up and to see the aftermath of Scrooge's Christmas Eve lived out by the Cratchit family. If you're a fan of the Christmas Carol and looking for a Christmas-y book I think you would enjoy this.

Ever wondered what happened to Tiny Tim, his family and Scrooge after Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol”? Well, wonder no more! We are re-introduced to Tim, and get to find out what he has been up to in his life,and where he is now. I love Christmas themed books, and I especially loved “A Christmas Carol”. When I saw that an author wrote a sequel to one of my favorite books, I just had to read it. I was not disappointed, and you won’t be either.
