But in a way, I didn't completely hate it either. I say that mostly because after two attempts I couldn't get through the book and maybe the best part, the part that brings it all together, was at the end. All those reviews of people saying the book is absolutely groundbreaking and amazing give me pause.
So if it boiled down to a recommendation, that would be a no. But if you are into that kind of stuff and you read all the reviews with increasing interest, then give it a try. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. And good luck.

I did read the whole thing several years ago, and it was okay. I liked the historical concept, and I often like historical fiction, but I wouldn't read it again. I'm glad I didn't buy it. :)
