Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell: a novel
I got this 9and someodd hundred page behemoth on a one week lone from the library. Now I am not the slowest reader, but I aint gonna win any speed reading medals either. A book that size would normally at least take me a week and a half of reading to plow through, but I finished it and less than a week too. I couldn't put it down. I didn't want it to end. Now I am not going to lie to you the first hundred pages or so are not all that intresting, but once you have those under your belt it is smooth sailing.
The hype machine called this book the "next harry potter". With the exception of both containing magic soaked plots there is very little in common between them. This book moves slower the characters are more complex the magic is more understated and there is absolutely no quidditch.
