What does Erin Spencer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?Įrin Spencer's attitude and girlish voice acting REALLY brings out the Holly Chase in this novel! If I had read the book first, her narration would probably be EXACTLY what I would hear in my head. BUT if you were looking for a good one, this would be a great story to start with. In other words, I've not read many re-imaginings of stories for fear of being let down either way.
I was hoping it would both stick-to and break the traditional Christmas Carol format so I wouldn't experience anything that was too copy 'n pasted or too alien. Obviously, this was a re-envisioning of A Christmas Carol which I have seen film adaptations of time and time again. What other book might you compare The Afterlife of Holly Chase to and why? I watch A Christmas Carol in its various formats every year and this book, I believe, had the same type of annual 'replayability' vibe as any other adaptation. The characters were unique and intriguing, I've never read/listened to such a selfish main character such as Holly Chase and I loved every minute of it. The story was light, meaningful, and completely unexpected. Yes! I could easily slide this into my personal yearly Christmas traditions.
Would you listen to The Afterlife of Holly Chase again? Why?
