“the greatest book ever written”
havokinthemind wrote this review 12 days ago. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No“This is the book that started my obsession with English Literature of South Asia. I think this book is too famous for me to give a synopsis or plot overview. But let me say that Rushdie's imagination is expansive and the various plot lines are highly sophisticated. His intricate wordplay, wit and humour are very much on display throughout the book. Salim Sinai is definitely one of literature's most memorable characters. ”
