The Satanic Verses
by Salman Rushdie
So, I'm not sure what to say about this book. I think I've mentioned that I've never read any of Rushdie's work before, and had no idea going in what his writing style was like. But I got this audiobook in a humble bundle and thought I ought to give it a try.
And I liked it more than I thought I would. The structure is very non-linear, which was a little difficult for me. The magical-realism aspect was also a surprise. But those things together with a compelling story of two men on similar paths that have veered in dramatically different directions was just great.
It was confusing with all the jumping around, but I would definitely recommend it to a friend, and it makes me want to read more of Rushdie's work.
