Gestern habe ich ein dünnes Büchlein mit den weiteren Abenteuer von Ebenezer Scrooge begonnen und hab es auch ungefähr zur Hälfte gelesen. Obwohl ich die bisherigen Romane von Charlie Lovett sehr mochte, bin ich von diesem nicht überzeugt. De Geschichte um Ebenezer Scrooge ist für mich sehr aufgesetzt, irgendwie krampfhaft geschrieben. Ich werde die letzten Seiten heute auslesen, aber mit dieser Geschichte hat sich der Autor keinen Gefallen getan.
Meine Lektüre:
Charlie LOVETT
The Further Adventures

The Further Adventures
of Ebenezer Scrooge
Description: A delightful sequel to Dickens’s beloved A Christmas Carol by the bestselling author of "First Impressions" and "The Bookman’s Tale."
On a hot summer day some twenty years after he was famously converted to kindness, Ebenezer Scrooge still roams the streets of London, spreading Christmas cheer, much to the annoyance of his creditors, nephew, and his employee Bob Cratchit. However, when Scrooge decides to help his old friend and former partner Jacob Marley, as well as other inhabitants of the city, he will need the assistance of the very people he’s annoyed. He’ll also have to call on the three ghosts that visited him two decades earlier. By the time they’re done, they’ve convinced everyone to celebrate Christmas all year long by opening their wallets, arms, and hearts to those around them.

Written in uncannily Dickensian prose, Charlie Lovett’s The Further Adventures of Ebenezer Scrooge is both a loving and winking tribute to the Victorian classic, perfect for readers of A Christmas Carol and other timeless holiday tales.
