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

Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.

Tried and failed to read this twice.  Got about halfway each time before finally getting sick of the dropped plot threads and boring characters.  Mimics the form but lacks the biting content of the great British novels of the early 19th century.  Dickens and Austen are unfair comparisons, as they are far superior in all ways.  Not going to waste time on a third attempt.
