Negative Positive
Title: Not his best, but well done again.
Review: Bought it the day it was out, started reading it and am still in the 1st quarter of the book. Usually I'm reading books faster, even Rushdi, but here I have the feeling that the story takes its time to really unfold. Rushdi, in the character of Rai, is telling his own story of the last years he had to be in "exile", but somehow I could not get the clue, yet. The thing with Rushdi's books is that sometimes you have to read them twice or even trice before the point and story really seeps in and becomes clear. Although he is writing in his wonderful fictional, and sarcastic humorous, style again, I would not say that "THE GROUND BENEATH HER FEET" is his best book, but well done again.
Is the review positive or negative?
