Gorgeous in small doses, this book is a great example of literary pretension (as in, it was written under the pretense that the reader is familiar with India's history & language). Despite a writing style that demands a bit of work from the reader, Rushdie sees the need to spell out every single one of the metaphors used in enough unnecessary detail to render them inert.
It was okay but nothing in his story really engaged me. He is certainly a hero in his own mind, and frequently talks about how great other people think he is. His play-by-play accounts of even his HIGH SCHOOL were incredibly detailed and pretty tedious to read. There was a bit of adversity in his childhood and I'm glad someone wrote about how well they are doing in spite of it, instead of blaming their current situation on it, but beyond that, I don't think the book is worth reading.
I chose the novel Wait for Me by An Na because I read the short review at the back and I saw many great comments there so I was very interested to read the story. I think this novel has a really good ideas and concepts for teenagers to read about. The main character Mina, she wants to impress her mother so she kept lying about her grade and tells her that she has really good grades and she is the president of the school. She lies on the outside but inside she knows who she really is and it makes her to feel worse each time she lies. And she finally meets a person who she can not lie and both Mina and her younger sister, Suna fall in love with that person and that makes the relationship with the siblings a little awkward. I think many teenagers can connect themselves to this novel especially Korean people because it talks about Korean family and how the Korean parents want the kids to go into the best college and push them to study. This book is 169 pages and the reading level is not hard. I would not recommend this book even though it has a very good concepts in it. Even the concepts are good, there aren't any interesting events in the story. So I have to say that this book had good concepts but those were not expressed well in the novel.

This book was simply brilliant! Two people, one date, 20 years of their lives. I don't think I've ever felt so much for two characters in a book. It had me laughing out loud, it had me wiping a tear or two and the ending sure left me shocked to the core! I'll be thinking about this story for a very long time... Em and Dex, Dex and Em.
