meghan_rose21 's review for:
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
by Susanna Clarke
I LOOOVED this!! Like maybe my 2nd favorite book of all time? Even though my copy was 1000 pages, I could have kept reading for another 1000. Susanna Clarke is an amazing amazing writer — witty, detailed in all the right ways (the footnotes are NOT too much), and heartfelt. The magical world she created within a very realistic 1800s England was wonderful and I loved the characters (even the ones I hated.)
It takes maybe 150 pages to get into, then is engaging, and then reaches I-cannot-put-this-down level.
It certainly has the feel of a classic novel, rather than one written in 2004 (in a good way, imo), but if you're looking for a typical fantasy/magic novel it might not be the right one for you.
