weissaroni13 's review for:

Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie
3.0

The dense narrative and length is not the only thing that makes this an epic novel. I was hoping more of the magic and mystery would be part of the story, but I found myself most often relating to the impatience of the narrator's present day lover, Padma, for him to just get on with the story. I really appreciated the historical aspect of the narrative as it is not something I've ever studied or followed.
