A Jinnia's disparate great great great great great etc. grandchildren get envolved in an epic battle of the worlds. At times it reminded me end-times novels in the Christian tradition of the genre. At other times it reminded me of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's particular brand of magical realism...all while being unmistakably Rusdie.

I enjoyed the book. The characters were appropriately believable and the narration style fit the genre beautifully. Rushdie's syntax always takes me a minute to get through/into, but in this book I didn't really mind.
