urbanmongrel 's review for:
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
by Susanna Clarke
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is pretty slow and I can understand the pacing comments but the writing is wonderful and clever. For some reason I went in to it with almost Harry Potter visions of Magicians and Wizards running around London with wands flicking magic spells everywhere. Took me some time to reset my expectations when I realised this was not going to be that type of book.
At 1006 pages, it's quite the beast. 100-200 pages must be foot notes which add huge amount of flavour/depth to the story.
The characters were very well fleshed out as was the story.
This book has been on my TBR for almost 10 months now and I can finally tick it off and watch the TV show version now which I had been avoiding until I had read the book,
Solid 4 star from me.
