19/20! Wow, I did a lot better than I thought I would-probably because they play this movie all the time during the Christmas season! Anyway, I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into this quiz Empy! Marvelous explanations and thorough questions.

18/20. I read the novel for the first time last Christmas, and saw the play on stage, but still missed two. A well-written and challenging quiz.

Read it in 8th grade, got a B on the test. Saw the Albert Finney version a few times, Geroge C. Scott version once, Henry Winkler version once. Finney rules, Winkler is a great spin on the role; Scott is a Finney clone, but done well for all that.

Nicely done quiz: questions, given choices, and explanations are all top-notch! BQE rating from the picky SOB (me).

Loved the quiz, but only made a B+
It was fun, anyway. Some of the questions were a little tricky.

Numbers 17 and 19 recorded the wrong answer (meaning what I clicked isn't what's showing)!

20/20 I'm reading this to my brothers and sisters. My aunt has about fifteen versions of it on DVD and video. Best ever rating and it's going in my favorites.

I did horribly, but I simply MUST read the whole book now (instead of the Cliff Notes I cheated with through AP English)! Empy, you've revealed to me that I've missed a true classic!

i got a 70%, but that's because i just read the play version in school about a month ago... i didn't think that much would be missing from it though!

18/20 for me. I love me my dickens, I do.

Some dubious answers. Needs rechecking. There are so many variations of this story, that the original Dickens text has been lost
