Midnight's Children
Midnight’s Children, August 2008, 9/10.
Written by Salman Rushdie. Published by Vintage.
Wow! This book was great – I can understand why it received so many of the accolades that it has. Although it took me a long time to get through I think that this was at least a little justified – it is not an easy read, and there was more flipping back than usual. Regardless, the character development and storyline were brilliant, and I was most impressed by the fact that through all the antics the same threads held everything together, and in a sense it was almost Wagnerish with his leitmotifs. Of the three books I enjoyed the first and second more than the third, which was a little too much in some parts.
