A review by silquesoleil
Mitternachtskinder by Salman Rushdie
1.0
Good Lord, I am finally done and I wish I had known I was literally just 2 pages away from freedom; just as I wished someone had told me about the index of indian words that could be found right at the end of it so I wouldnt have to work with context clues. Welp.
Yeah, no, I did not enjoy this book very much although I think it should be noted that any political and social significance this novel holds is lost to me because I'm not familiar enough with these topics. It's not a book you read for fun, at least I don't think so and I am not exactly a fan of books that are not enjoyable by nature.
The erratic hinting towards things that were yet to come was confusing at best and just generally bad style. I know it was probably supposed to tell the reader something about Saleem's state of mind but it was wayyy too overdone.
I'm done. I'm glad I'm done. That's all I can say.
