Review title: ummm....can you say overrated ???
Product review: thought i would check this book out after having heard for years how amazing and clever it is.it is rare for me to completely abandon a book mid-way through, but it became unbearable.i think this book would've ended up in the scrap heap of whatever publisher put this out originally if khomeni had not made such a big deal about it.rushdie's writing style is annoying and non-sensical. the pretentious reader may find the prose enjoyable, if only to impress others in their social circle.maybe there are deeper meanings and references for indian and/or muslim people. but since i am neither, i really didn't care.if you find it provocative, you may want to shock yourself into numbness by watching south park.overall, not impressed.
