Initially, I didn't know what to think as I listened to this book; however, as the story continued, I became engrossed and couldn't wait to put in the next disc. Mr. Norrell is portrayed as this old, dry Englishman, but he knows his "magic." He is a bit prideful and very set in his ways. Along comes Jonathan Strange as his apprentice and becomes quite skilled, but very ambitious,headstrong and wants to change the "old and busted" with the "new hotness." But there are consequences for his brash actions. It is a strange, but fascinating story. The writer is very descriptive and detailed and your imagination paints these fantastic scenes. I think you'd like the book, but you've got to give it a chance and pay very close attention.
