Celebrate Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month with These Great Books
A ŷ user asked this question about Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell:
I'm watching the BBC1 tv series based on this book, how does the story in the book compare to the tv series?
Kat!e Larson A lot of things are left out for the sake of time and simplicity. However, it stuck to the feel of the book and a lot of the events... until the end. …mǰA lot of things are left out for the sake of time and simplicity. However, it stuck to the feel of the book and a lot of the events... until the end. The last two episodes felt quite different. I think the love story between Strange and Arabella was a lot sappier, as was the relationship between Strange and Norrell. The end also felt a lot sadder and much less satisfying, because of the way the relationships had been changed. I really loved the mini series until the end, but I came out of it feeling dissatisfied and simply wishing to reread the book. (less)
