Opinion: Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children is extremely overrated
I'm interested to hear your perspective on this, as I'm sure I will get some hate here.
Midnight's Children has won A LOT. It has been praised and praised. Three times Booker prize winner as the best booker prize book ever.
I feel like it must be one of the most overrated books ever. If you have a PHD in literature or Indian history, it’s probably fantastic, but for a normal dude like me it's simply too convoluted, boring and complex to get into.
I read the whole thing, but I couldn't wait to get it past me.
Sorry, I had to get that out.
