Opinion

I thought Midnight’s Children was an interesting story. It is however a difficult read with a need for a large vocabulary. Rushdie uses very descriptive and advanced language to tell his story. The plot itself seems to have no conflict at first. It’s just a very long description of Saleem’s relatives. Though not very interesting it does help the reader to understand Saleem better. The book is definitely not what I expected it to be. I expected a story about magical people saving the world but instead I got a lengthy description of a family tree. The book isn’t bad and it isn’t good. In my opinion it could be offered as reading but I wouldn't recommend it.
