Review title: Not that great...
Product review: I was recommended this book as something that fans of Susanna Clarke's novel, Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrell, would like. I read all the reviews and figured I couldn't go wrong.Well, I was. I'm not saying this is an awful book. The idea for the story is very creative, and certainly has potential, but the end result is not impressive. I felt like I was reading a very long childrens book, with some sex thrown in so it could be pushed as a grown up fairy tale (really, there are these phone sex ads on TV that add nothing to the story whatsoever). I didn't feel I could really connect with the characters, and there is so much jumping around it left me with no desire to develop any interest in anyone's story.I will say again, it wasn't completely horrid. But I wont be reading it again, and I wouldn't have purchased it if I had known what I was really buying.
