Query: THIS BOOK IS AWFUL. IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN ULUSSES

This book doesn't even try to make sense. I had to read the cliffnotes just to know what was supposed to be going on. There is no connection whatsoever to what Rushdie claims he wrote and what he actually did. I find the English lanuage to be wanting in terms to describe how awful this book is, so I suggest you go to your nearest bookstore, pick it up, read the impossible to comprehend first paragraph, skim it a bit so you have proof that it doesn't get any better, put it back, and then go wash your hands. To summarize this alleged novel in one word: PRETENTIOUS.
