I *so* want to get that audiobook, too. I bought the book, but couldn't read the book, because it was too dry. I was going to struggle, though, and then I found out that audiobook is read by Simon Prebble! I love that narrator. He read Diana Gabaldon's 'Lord John and the Succubus' and I admired his remarkably versatile voice-acting. So I haven't read the book yet, but your review gives me high anticipation! Thank you.
I was so excited to see a book called Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell! I steathly caressed the book cover in a very public bookstore and thought 'It's slash! OMG, it's the slashiest title ever!' and then (cough) I bought the book. Of course, Neil Gaiman recommendation helped. :P
