“Old Christmas” By Washington Irving Review

I gotta say that this short story feels very blank and like there wasn’t a lot of thought and effort behind it.

The premise of this short story is the nostalgia of traditional Christmas celebrations, but I gotta say this short story fails on doing that. Because when you are reading this short story it feels like it is drifting into sentimentality without delivering a compelling plot to us as readers.

The characters in this short story again lack any sort of depth into them or having any form for personality to them.

The pacing in this short story is very uneven. Since it changes multiple times during the short story. What I mean here is that the pacing of the narrative of this short story goes from being fast to being very slow to then again being fast. Which isn’t very consistent and good in my opinion.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
