A review by scruffie
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
Though I felt intrigued by the first couple of chapters, everything else I read after that felt unbearably slow-paced. This boredom also made me acutely aware of several problematic passages. Two very short examples, if it helps:

p59. "He is as rich as a Jew."
p134. "Of the two draymen one was handsome and the other was fat [..]"

Can't muster the strength or motivation to finish this one.
