I had kind of low expectations for this book, mostly because I'd never heard of it before and the summary on the back of the cover didn't sound that great. (Obviously not the most valid reasons for judging a book, but there you go.) But Rushdie's writing is amazing, even if I didn't like this as much as I liked Midnight's Children. But something can be not as good as Midnight's Children and still be great.
