Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

"4.5 stars<br/><br/>The book was almost 850 pages, but it didn't feel that way. Wonderfully written and pretty funny in parts; I thoroughly enjoyed it despite it not being exactly what I expected. It's one of those books that can become a classic in the future."

"This was a long book, but it was a lot of fun. It was very well written and included some welcome dry humor as well. It really did seem like a realistic historical book (despite all the magic) and I commend Susanna Clarke for thinking through her ideas with all the cliff notes."
