Hi, PiyushChourasia!
What did you think of The Satanic Verses? I had been wanting to read that, but I just recently read Midnight's Children and found it pretty difficult although ultimately rewarding.

Hi Billie
I guess the feedback for The Satanic Verses would be the same, amazing book but difficult to read, actually, you start appreciating the book for what it is only after you reach the climax, before that though its quite interesting, you may tend to get lost.
Overall, I guess a very decent read! 5/5 from me...
