Jonathan Strange

Have just finished Mr. Norrell and Jonathan Strange. It was a fascinating book. I felt compelled to keep reading-by the magic or the force of the writing- and would say I enjoyed it.
It is a book about magic which is not a subject I would normally choose but this was good. I never fell inlove with any of the characters. There were no heroes or heroines just victims of the all encompassing magic. It was not a feel good book but it was a good read.
I did get fed up with all the footnotes which added largely nothing. If I had to rate it I would give it 6/10.
