“on 2nd thoughts real bad wasnt strong enough....”
“bad... real bad!”
“Last time I read it I was in University and had to quickly skim through it. Now that I have really read it I can say I absolutely loved it. The story of a nation told through the story of a boy, what a wonderful idea!Of course it is a little difficult to start, as all Rushdie books are, but it very rewarding in the end when all things start to come together (or rather apart, as the narrator says).”
“i mean at some point something else enters the book, which is not intended but still comes into the book and works its way, like magic. that's the best part. in the end you almost feel as if this guy has pickled his life naed bottled it in different jatrs with different flavours for you to just touch with your fingers and taste.”
“I came to this discussion page to help me decide whether to bother finishing this book. I'm about half way through, and frankly I'm finding it self-indulgent and frequently boring. I was hoping for something much more captivating, even if it was slow...I am trying to teach myself NOT to necessarily finish every book I start. Nevertheless, some of the comments here are keeping me going, at least for now.”
“why?”
“y r u talking abt starts u can change ur review any time dear...”
“I agree with dydy, it is certainly not easy to read. I had to back and forth sometimes but I am glad I read the whole book. This is the kind of book you want to read slow. I have read Inidan authors, this one was not written in "India English".”
“what i liked the most at this book was the fact that it wasn`t a really easy book to understand. i had ti be connected anytime with the action and this is the first thing that i`m looking into a book.”
“I loved the book. His style of writing just blows me away and I got to understand so much more about India. WOW!”
