I'm extremely pleased that you're positively reccing the Susannah Clarke and Jasper Fforde books, because I got "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell" and Fforde's first book in the series, "The Eyre Affair" for Christmas. Haven't had time to crack them open yet, but good to know you liked them.
I have read "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde and found it strangely entertaining. It is a fun concept and the flow of the narrative was intriguing. I especially liked Thursday's father who is a truly entertaining rebel IMO. Thanks for reccing Susannah Clarke and Patricia Briggs, I will order and read those books, they sound quite interesting, and also thanks for the warning for "Hybrids". I might have been tempted to read that, 'cause I am quite interested in theories about Neanderthals, but your review has prevented me from wasting my money and time on that.
I'm glad the reviews were of some use -- I don't dislike Sawyer, it's just that he always has more potential than he ends up delivering on. Flashforward is probably my favorite of his. If you are interested in Neanderthals, you could check out the first book of the trilogy, Hominids -- it introduces everybody and sets forth Sawyer's version of Neanderthal culture.
