Bought this book a year ago after the series was shown on TV. I'm bound to say that that TV made the story a little more accessible, because the style of writing is not for everybody. Susanna Clarke, writing this book, has a style pretty much all her own. Masses of footnotes and margin extras. Writing in a distant 3rd person at times, but somehow involving and enjoyable, so that ultimately it was better than the TV series. Recommended and fantastic value at £4.89, freepost.
