Title: More cluttered than a Bombay night market
Review: I returned this book to the library barely halfway through. It appeared to be written by a pretentious Classics Ph.D candidate with a thesaurus in one hand and a meerschaum pipe in the other. Rushdie gives you two sentences of plot, then spends an hour waxing philosophical about a multitude of obscure things, which, while interesting on their own, become such a mishmash of misplaced ideas that the whole thing just loses its momentum and the interest of the reader.
Is the review positive or negative?
