Review title: Big Hype
Product review: This book is not as good it could've been. Rushdie has talent but there were two major stories that could've been (Gibreel and Salahuddin) and should've been two different, shorter novels. It would've been a different story, obviously, but it would've been a better one.The book was too long, too wordy, heavy on description and history of characters for it's own sake. Almost 500 pages into it and then SOMETHING starts to happen and even then, it's three heavy chapters of further explanation of two events that aren't necessarily spectacular.I did not like the book and felt that i put way too much into trying to understand a book that leaves the reader, as MANY reviewers noted, "disoriented". The first ten pages are hard to get into. I was about to drop it but i decided to finish and i did. It's not the worst book I have read but it's disappointing because you have a talented writer, an interesting idea for a story but poor execution.
