I must be the only person in the world who hates that novel of Johnathan Strange and Mr Norrell and stopped reading it (two attempts) less than half way through. Can you say what you liked in the story? I thought the plot was terribly slow to develop if it was existent at all. So, did you like the characters? Any of them in particular?
I also didn't like "Extremely loud and incredibly close" and now that I mention it, it had no plot either. Lots of introverted feeling but no plot or development at all. Maybe that's what I need.
