Dissecting Rushdie: notes and scores

Hi Rampire Readers!

Many thanks to Mira for hosting such an animated and lively discussion last night. Rushdie managed to trigger so many different emotions in all of us, whether we loved or hated Midnight's Children. We all felt irritated by the narrator at some point or other though...

Reading Anja's comments prompted further insights into the novel and the group's views were indeed varied.

Here follow the scores we awarded so far:
