A multi-faceted story for kid and adult alike
This book is one that offers more than most.

| Professional Reviews | "A beautiful book that could have been written by a post-modernist jinn with a sense of humor, of adventure, and of what makes an amazing story--a magical entertainment by a great writer.", "Fantastical, funny, whooping through drama and comedy, good and evil, introducing creatures delightful or frightening, this joyous and tender book is a whole Arabian Nights entertainment.", "No one can juggle and legerdemain words as he does. The story involves you at once and keeps you reading, and so it should, for it is from the same magic land as 'Sinbad', 'The Thousand and One Nights', 'The Golden Fleece'.", Desai, Anita: "In telling his tale, Rushdie borrows form sources as disparate as the conventions of Bombay cinema; the films of Satyajit Ray; comic books and cartoons; 'Star Wars'; and even the jingles on signboards along the highways of Kashmir....It is a performance that dazzles the eye as it erupts triumphantly out of the dark in a display of fireworks.", King, Stephen: "This is, simply put, a book for anyone who loves a good story. It's also a work of literary genius.", Vargas Llosa, Mario: "Fantasy, adventure and allegory in a beautiful mix....Salman Rushdie reappears, after his personal drama, enriched as a human being and as a writer." | |
