Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie

4.0

I started digging on MC more once I picked up on the parallels with Tristram Shandy. MC has much more of the exciting fleeing-from-death bits and less of the boring middle (although there was still some boring middle, and I almost quit reading because of it). Not sure how I feel about the unreliable narrator - I don't want him too honest, but patently insane is no fun, either. I like him best when Padma is keeping him on the rails.
