Title: Worth buying, good story!
Review: I have one thing to say........get the audio version. I would never have gotten through the print. But, narrated by Simon Prebble, this was entertaining. I thought the characters were animated, well defined and there were more than a few times where I thought the situations were just plain funny (see Drawlite meeting Norrell, pushing himself into his house, telling everyone he already knew him, etc). The humour is perhaps, English for lack of a better word (I'm somehow reminded of that old sitcom, 'Are you being served?'The plot did not lack complexity and was well done, characters were rounded, believable and the story was not lacking in suspense and wait. There were a few times where it dragged a bit (geez this is a long story), but I never kept listening and always found it interesting. Got kind of dark near the end. I'd definitely go see the movie (which is being filmed now) and will probably buy a copy of the CD.
Is the review positive or negative?
