Title: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Author: Susanna Clarke
Pages: 1006
Genre: Fiction/Fantasy
Grade: B
Synopsis: The book is set in the early 1800s. Magic has all but disappeared from England, with the exception of one magician in Yorkshire. He has amassed a huge collection of old manuscripts on magic and has been studying them for years before he is discovered doing magic after raising a woman from the dead in London. All is peachy until word begins to spread that there is another magician making a name for himself. The second magician, Jonathan Strange is the polar opposite of Mr Norrell, but they are still attracted to each other and Mr Norrell agrees to take on Jonathan Strange as a pupil.
My Review: This book was just ok for me. It's quite a long book. I'm not a die hard fantasy fan and this book just never grabbed me.
