This morning I started listening to the audiobook of this story. OMG is it boring! I made it to chapter six, around page 65 before totally giving up on it. I don't think I've ever "read" anything so dry and tedious. I absolutely hated Mr. Norrell. He is so contrary and rude to everyone. Since no one is as good a magician as he is, they aren't even worth talking to. Amazingly enough, all the "magicians" in London, are theoretical magicians who can't do a lick of magic and feel that practical magic users are charlatans. If that is the case, why in the world are they studying magic as if it is a religion.
I wonder if this didn't take place in the 1800s, if it wouldn't have been so dry. Brits from that time period were so stuffy and full of themselves that a story about them was bound to be boring as hell. There is absolutely no way I'm going to read 782 pages (or 26 CDs) of this. I'd end up driving my car off the road because I was bored to death. UGH!
