@fortinian Not really a fair comment. Much of the novel deals specifically with the Napoleonic War and there isn't a single reference in more than 1000 pages to the United States. So mentioning Napoleon and not Jefferson makes perfect sense. Not everything revolves around the United States.

@CrashSolo I think you did the book justice for a one minute review . Being set around and involving the Napoleonic war I don't quite see why a reference to Thomas Jefferson would be fitting as mentioned by 'fortinian' .... !
Goof revirew .. I've read the book too many times :)
Peace

Loved the book,
brief synopsis heere but any pr is worthy in this case as the book is sooo great,

incredible book! but this seemed more like a synopsis than a review...

I'm reading it right now and am on chapter 44. What a great book this is. I never read anything quite like it. I too recommend it to everyone. ;)
-
This book is fantastic! I'm finishing and i feel it could go on and on.
Miss Clarke did a great job.

i am in the third part of the book now and it definitely gets better as it goes on. the history in it is fascinating! this is definitely one of my favorite books!

This is a terrible review, the guy clearly does not know what he is on about. 'Set in Great Britain around the time of Napoleon?' Why not 'Set in Great Britain around the time of Thomas Jefferson'? Makes just as much sense. Also, 'it is heavily researched' - you're getting confused between research and imagined. It is heavily imagined with a very full and complete created background history but it is in no way researched. As for the book itself.... tedious.

Thanks for the comment - you should do a video book review of something that you've enjoyed reading, I'd love to see it.

Great review, I loved the footnotes just as much as the actual story.

Thanks! I keep waiting for another novel from Susanna Clarke (Fall, 2008, according to rumor...), but i guess one can't expect an author to churn out books like Jonathan Strange too very often. I haven't read her "Ladies of Grace..." short story collection yet, so i might pick that up while i wait!
