Review title: Over-hyped because of the controversy.
Product review: This book's high sales are solely due to the controversy it created. Rushdie has written far better books such as Shame and Midnight's Children. Although Rushdie is famous for his abrupt shifts in scene he seems to lose the thread of the story himself in the middle. His chatty style can also get irritating. The few lucid parts are engrossing, however. Not worth the effort, though.
