Negative Positive
Title: Tedious
Review: This book, like most of Rushdie's writings, has nice parts but it doesn't jell. Rushdie's writing is pitched at a variety of consitituencies: the PC crowd, the feminists, and so on. But great writing cannot emerge without a strong focus and consistency in purpose. I re-read this book last night and was sorely disappointed. I'd say that `Satanic Verses' is Rushdie's best book.While Rushdie plays to the gallery he has alienated most spectators. The Muslims are mad with him for SV, the non-Muslims think he is insincere when he says he is still a Muslim.
Is the review positive or negative?
