I think I would have really enjoyed this if I read it at my own time, at my own pace, etc. But at the ridiculously breakneck pace my professor assigned? While coming off of two tech weeks??? No sir I don't think I processed any more than 20% of the novel. Which really bums me out because I HAVE read Rushdie before and adored it AND I literally wanted to read this even before my class (it's been on my tbr since January 2021) but alas. Does Rushdie have shorter, less convoluted books? I might give one of those a try.
