A review by joaniesickler
Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie

3.0

Whew. It's not easy reading. Parts flow hysterically well. Others are so fragmented and depressing it's hard to stay with it. But I had to since my stepdaughter's Charter School 12th graders read it over the summer. Surely I could too. It was a rich experience and a drenching in Rushdie's early writing, which is truly extraordinary. Worth the work to read this one.
