So, I'm enjoying the hell out of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. What do you all think?

I love it. It's long enough since I read the book that I can't remember every detail, but it looks beautiful and the casting is well-nigh perfect. Dave is taking the book to re-read on holiday!

Marc Warren's hair isn't exactly 'thistledown', but it looks brilliantly weird. And Marsan is perfect as the neurotic little man.

It's a long time since I read the book too. In fact, my copy is in storage, which is a shame, because I'd like to read it again.

I don't remember the story that well, except for remembering that it's a lot longer in the book until we meet Jonathan Strange.
