dknippling 's review for:
Midnight's Children
by Salman Rushdie
A man born at the moment of India's independence tells the tale of his life to date--pickles and all.
I was expecting something deep and literary and serious. This is a perfect fool's book--the tale of a complete and utter goob who happens to live in interesting times, serving both as the idiot who gets in over his head on the way to wisdom, and the court jester who is the only one allowed to speak the truth.
Recommend if you like A Confederacy of Dunces or The 100 Year Old Man Who Stepped Out Of A Window and Disappeared, or even Forrest Gump.
