Review: Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I have seen so many people praise this book that I just had to read it. I’m still trying to figure out what they found so fascinating about it. I managed to slog through it, but I really wouldn’t say I couldn’t put it down. I kept reading and hoping I would have some sort of “aha!” moment, but it never happened for me. It was just okay as far as I’m concerned. It was well written, in the style of the period, but the plot and story arc had little conflict.
