Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie
2.0

A narcissist's myopic tale of his own self-aggrandizing life. I was curious at the beginning because of Rushdie's unique writing style and the historical backdrop, but once I got over some of the captivating turns of phrase and metaphors, I realized this book is largely style over substance, a drudgery to plod through.
