Midnight's Children by Salman RushdieMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Mr Rushdie takes us through the lifes and times of the protagonist Saleem Sinai whose life is filled mostly with woes and lows throughout the book and very little to cheer for.
He uses a web of metaphors and bizarre coincidences to tell his story and I must admit that I was more in awe of his storytelling than the story he wants to tell. Maybe that is why for most of the part I couldn't invest much in the protagonist's journey but was more interested in how Mr Rushdie will pen down the journey.
But overall it is a fantastic read and I don't remember reading any other book which has enthralled me so much in terms of its literary value.
