A review by beth_m_house
Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie

Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.

Many of the names of characters, fabrics, some deities were so foreign to me that it was hard to keep them all straight.  My problem was that I was truly  trying to learn these cultural differences when out of the blue, he would change the name of the characters on us making it too onerous to read. Another thing that  was irritating was the plot was too surreal.  It was almost like the author would dream up a plot twist, throw it in the middle, and then forget about it and continue as if nothing happened.  It just wasn't my thing.
