A classic
I still love this story after countless readings and about as many reboots. Few are unfamiliar with the story, which lends itself well to contemporary retellings. But I enjoy revisiting the original now and then. It's a very quick read, and one of my favorite ghost stories and tales of redemption. If Scrooge can change, who can't?

Everything this is an epic game (0 more)
Since playing red dead redemption and completing it ive needed more. And they havent let us gamers down. An epic storyline with 90 challenges and a 16 minute horse ride from 1 end of the map to the other. Amazing landscapes with plenty of side missions if you choose to do them.

This movie was recommended to me and I'm glad I watched it. The acting was great and the cinematography was terrific. The story was fun and exciting with some funny and heartwarming moments. A great underdog/father-son/redemption movie for the whole family. If you haven't already seen it, it's definitely worth a watch!

"I’ve always been fascinated by the psychology of people and trying to understand what motivates ordinary people to do the things they do, as well as the guilt and the redemption of these people afterwards. I cannot think of another book which took me into a character's brain before, during, and after, a crime quite like this one."

Movie Favorite

"A powerful story told simply and with finesse. This movie is all clarity and as lean as a movie can be. A tale of redemption that has inspired and influenced countless other really good movies. The protagonist’s face will haunt your dreams. This one is a real beauty. Paul Schrader’s DVD introduction (once again) provides an ideal context."
