In defence of Jonathan

I have enjoyed reading this book entirely. I am at the beginning of the third section and things are really gearing up... I can't wait to find out who the gentleman with the thistle-down hair is and see if the Raven King makes and appearance!

Perhaps I like it so much becuase I am a ginormous Anglophile. I am wild about all things British, especially nineteenth century British history, so this book is my cup of tea and then some. I was laughing like an idiot on the plane and appreicate Clarkson's historical references and droll writing style. She is like a modern Jane Austen with her witty social commentary and characterizations.

Besides, Jonathan Strange is a hottie!

I love the language of the book. It reminds me of Pride and Prejudice. I'll be thouroghly engrossed, look up having read 4 pages and half an hour has gone by. It reads so slowly but I love it.
