Reading Log: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: A Novel

FINISHED Wed 26.

Impressions:
-- LONG. About 700+ pages. Detailed, which was delightful, but LONG. I thought the war part could have been cut out since I'm not a big fan of war reading.
-- I like the use of footnotes. Clever. Gets reader involved. Imaginative.
-- I picked up this book because I read somewhere in an book review that it was Harry Potter for adults, and I suppose it lived up to its billing.
-- Not everything was wrapped up neatly, which I'd always liked because then there would be the possibility of a sequel.

Rating:
A- to A
