The Satanic Verses
by Salman Rushdie
I would probably give this one 6 stars if I knew more about Islam, Hinduism, and India. There's a lot I missed because of my ignorance. But I love Gabriel Garcia Marquez and I love Haruki Murakami so it's not unreasonable that I now love Salman Rushdie because he writes like them. It's an epic story about faith and love and the battles we humans face within ourselves and with each other. But mostly, I love this book because Rushdie puts words together that make dreams feel solid and real. He is a magician of words and the story, while most of the time surreal, was beautiful--like swimming in a beautiful painting. I just had to let the words roll over me.
One point. I read this in tree book form. I rather wish I had read it in e-book form because he uses a LOT of big words. And the e-book dictionary would have come in handy and less cumbersome than toting around a regular dictionary.
Can't wait for Midnight's Children.
