Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie
5.0
Never have I ever thought that a children's book could be so smart, so intelligent.
This is not only a children's book but also a social commentary on the plight of the world but I see you Mr. Rushdie, I know you're talking about Kashmir.
Salman Rushdie, story teller extraordinaire, not only weaves the a tale of our social and political situation along with perhaps stories from his personal life. He speaks of feminism, of social injustice, of politicians taking advantage of the system and of the people, of freedom of speech, of how sometimes it's better to let actions speak louder than words, of heart break and depression, of new love and the thrill of it.
A fast read, this is a book I would recommend to everyone - specially those from the Indian subcontinent because I know you'll appreciate and chuckle more. You'll get it.
