A review by fishky
Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie

3.0

perhaps unfair of me to review it like this, but I got very bored because the writing style was very repetitive, which was part of the bit (narrator as a long winded narcissist). like listening to a drunk old guy at the bar who really did have a fascinating life but you have to translate everything he says to create your own timeline and de-hyperbolize the main points. 'shame' was so good that I think that this just couldn't hold on direct comparison of a back to back read.
