Hugh Laurie's reading is great -- each character has their own specific voice which makes the story more interesting and enjoyable. The ending was a bit abrupt, but the abridgement was otherwise good -- a nice compact tale without being too lengthy. This is a nice introduction to Dickens for those who are only familiar with "A Christmas Carol".
