Hang in there! It takes a while to get into Midnight's Children but the storytelling is astounding. Rushdie's writing in this novel reminds me of Marquez/Love in the Time of Cholera. A great read.
Helpful Score: 3
Ferociously well written. Interminably long. If you stay to the end, very moving.
Helpful Score: 3
So you wanna read some Rushdie, but maybe the Satanic Versus is a little too much... He brings his usual style and flair to a story which proves that if you really want to know what's going on, you have to start at the beginning.
Helpful Score: 1
beautifully written, with very explicit detail. perhaps sometimes too intricately detailed, but a dream of a story.
