Book Reviews of Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children: Adapted for the Theatre by Salman Rushdie, Simon Reade and Tim Supple (Modern Library Paperbacks)

Book Review: Good but...strangely empty - even if...
Summary: 3 Stars

Just finished reading this yesterday; liked a lot about it - his style, his way of describing things, his nose and knees...knees and nose, did fingers...? did eyes...? - but one strange thing: this book seemed to have the uncanny ability to put me to sleep, no matter what the time of day. Also, when finished, book was tossed on bed and not given another second's thought. Wondered: does that mean something? About this book? About the nature of fiction? I mean, what is the point of it all? Is it just mental distraction, a way to fill the head, to substitute the words of another for thoughts of our own, or is there something more to it than that? And then, if there is something to this writing malarkey, why not produce what is real, what actually happened? Isn't fact stranger, and stronger than fiction? How am I to be inspired by this? What can I learn? (And please don't tell me Indian history!) Does anybody know what I'm saying?
