Rushdie's Masterpiece: Humor Was Never So Ominous, or Disaster So Funny.

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: A masterful novel. Surrender your expectations and it will invite you in.
Review:

This opinion marks a sad occasion, the news that one Islamic extremist group has announced a renewed death threat against Salman Rushdie for the alleged heresies that occur in his early novel The Satanic Verses. Apparently, they feel that...

*Sigh*

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2000
Review: The fatwa obviously had an effect on Rushdie - and the empty vessel of The Moor's Last Sigh shows that it wasn't good.
Written whilst stuck in hiding, TMLS is a shadow of everything that has gone before it; an epic tale of the Indian...

A treat for the senses: Rushdie's Masterpiece

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2000
Review: Salmon Rushdie?s The Moor?s Last Sigh is a heady, sensual, wordy, moving, funny, wonderful book. It does for the English language what Joyce?s Ulysses did over a century ago, expanding our vocabulary and consequently our ability to perceive and...

Rush for Rushdie

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2000
Review: Salman Rushdie is never one to disappoint, and the 'Moor's last sigh' is an intense continuation of this marvellous trend. The book is a sensually written fictional biography, with trademark Rushdie attention to detail and plausible prose. It is as...

Sighing...

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 1999
Review: 'Moor' Zogoiby, the protagonist, is very reminescent of Salman Rushdie himself. Like Moor, Rushdie knows about a life spent in banishment from normal society--Rushdie because of the fatwa that followed The Satanic Verses, Moor because he ages at...

Rushdie and Tragedy

Date of Review:  Sep 8, 2001
The Bottom Line: Get ready for a sensory overload! Rushdie gives the book just the right amount of drama to gain sympathy for the character. Go ahead and read it!
Review: The Moor's Last Sigh? The first novel to come out of Salman Rushdie after the Iranian government issued a death sentence against him for allegedly blaspheming the Koran. The Moor in the title though, refers to Moares Zogoiby, the last surviving...
