megiesaurus 's review for:

The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
4.0

This book is a wild ride - a deep dive into racism, poverty, police brutality (especially against POC and the poor), misogyny, isolation, familial estrangement, and mental illness.

I'm glad I read it, but the process wasn't pleasant. It's not a book I'd ever recommend as enjoyable, but it feels important.
