I love Rushdie. He has got to be one of one of my favorite author if for no other reason than he will confuse the hell out of you in simple words on the first page. If you don't have a fundamental understanding of world events, India, and Islam, give up hope all ye who enter here. It really is a little crazy. For those who persevere, Rushdie weaves incredible stories that come together in the end like magic. Nothing is without a separate meaning and everything is significant. It's exhausting reading, but you have to appreciate the brilliance of being able to weave words into a story like he does - it's so brilliant it demands that respect. This story parallels the birth of Pakistan.
I won't give any further description, I wouldn't do it justice.
Verdict: Read it for the sheer job of watching Rushdie weave a story.
