    A Must Read

    I absolutely loved the characters, plot and settings in this excellent novel. If you are a fan of Rushdie then I highly recommend.

    Melancholy, sublime, moving and powerful

    In an age where 'fantastic' means little more than competent mediocrity, one struggles to find an adjective that can do justice to the the soul of this remarkable book. Rushdie's masterful descriptions of the characters, their triumphs, their defeats both great and ignominous, their treacheries big and small, their humanity and the thread that links their fates makes this one a compelling read.

    It should have been written twenty years ago.

    The novels timeline would be different but this book should have been written years ago. What has happened in India, Pakistan, Kashmir and the surrounding regions, and is still happening today, is a story that needs to be told.

    Good book ... first time i agree with salman

    I have read two other books by salman rushdie. I love his style of writing and admires his intellegence. But I do not usually agree with his views...the way he potrays muslims, islam and the subcontinent. This is the first time that he has been fair to that part of the world. He has done a really good job of telling the core the problem in a story and has covered it well.

    Rushdie.....Going back to his roots

    Salman Rushdie has finally started doing something that he should have started a long time ago i.e. tell the world about the pathetic situation his brethren in Indian Occupied Kashmir are in even if he doesn't share the same ideology that Kashmiri's believe in.....He is still genetically a Kashmiri and has a moral responsibility to help Kashmiri's put an end to their relentless sufferring at the hands of the Indian forces occuppying Kashmir.
