Someone else's review had said it read more like a history of jinn and I would agree with that. I liked the information and enjoyed the story mostly. I didn't like that it jumped back and forth and that the fight for the world seemed secondary. I was also annoyed at the amount of time spent on how much jinn liked sex. We got it the first few times.
I otherwise liked the story and appreciated the biting satire.

It was okay. I was expecting more from this author. I felt like I missed something along the way.

My first Rushdie read, so I do not know how it compares to his other novels. There are a lot of words! I looked up a number of them. A first the story seemed disjointed. The ancient times, fast forward to apparently the early 21sf century. But then it all came together! I'm sure I missed a lot, but for the first time I actually highlighted some passages. .

I think I liked the idea of this book more than the experience of actually reading it. It's creative, original, clever, and satisfying on many levels. It just didn't really have any emotional pull for me, though. Plus, I do love a good jinn book!
