Which is it senpai
Was it good enough to have the author receive death threats or not

I enjoyed it. I still enjoy it when I think about the story.

It seems to me my dear old chum
that good to him is bad to some
and only by the reading act
can we ever come to know

It's one of my favorite books. It's incredile, the story, the characters, the prose, the themes... Read the first few pages to see if you like it, but I'd totally recommend it.

Not OP but this or Midnight's Children?

>>7628641
Midnight's Children

>>7628641
Read or watch a bit about partition and then read Midnight's Children. You can't imagine the impact it had on India

>>7628560
Absolutely - it's a wonderful book in it's own right regardless of the manufactured backlash.

hmm...this i'm not sure about. I had a hard time getting into until after they washed up on shore and began noticing physical changes.

I actually thought it had a great introductory paragraph. It introduces some of the main themes (dichotomies of life & death, Dream & reality, etc), and sets the mood and tone of the book.

Both. I havent read MC but some people whose opinions I respecto have told me that it is quite good.
