The Impossible Quest of Hailing a Taxi on Christmas Eve

By: George Saoulidis

Narrated by: Steve White

Scrooge is looking for a taxi

Dickens meets I, Robot in this sci-fi retelling of a classic story.

In this modern retelling of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is looking for a taxi to get home on Christmas Eve. But he will get the ride of his life, as he is walked through his past, his present, and his future to end up a changed man.

Set in modern day Athens, this science-fiction version of the classic ghost story is guaranteed to bring shivers down your spine and a smile to your face.

Listen to more of the Cyberpunk Fairy Tales, a unique twist on the classic stories you grew up with. Sometimes they are dark and disturbing like the Grimm stories, other times they're new and relevant to the modern age.

Loved, loved, loved it!

This listen did correlate to the standard Scrooge story but I liked the few departures and updated of the retelling! It is incredibly well-narrated and a perfect family listen for the holidays.

Modern take on A Christmas Carol

This was very cute and perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit. I very much enjoyed it. Will become part of my Holiday entertainment. I recommend this to anyone that loves A Christmas Carol. I received this for free for an honest review.

Great modern redo

This is the third book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would listen to another. This is an interesting spinoff of the classic A Christmas Carol. I liked the three taxi rides and modern twists. Very entertaining.

This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Steve White ). He has a variety of character voices in his repertoire- each with their own expression. He does quite well reading this book. His style did not immerse me in the book...I still realized I was being read to, yet it works for this book.

There are no explicit sex scenes, or excessive violence. There is the very occasional swearing.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.

The modern Scrooge...

The Impossible Quest of Hailing a Taxi on Christmas Eve by George Saoulidis and narrated by Steve White is a good retelling of the classic Scrooge tale. If you’re tired of the typical Christmas story and looking for something fresh with tech and Greek gods, give this one a listen. The narrator, Steve White, did a good job.

“No talking necessary. Scrooge loved it. But now, he had to call up a phone, wait in line, talk to an operator, like Neanderthals. The horror.”
“Money is not all there is in this life. The truly precious stuff can’t be bought.”
