It's been a long since since I had a book draw so beautiful images in my head, making a whole animation movie while reading it. This book is full of wonders, tales and magic, it makes you dream again like a child and makes me want to read it to my god-daughter to let her discover this magnificent tale of Haroun. And makes me want to go on a journey on the ocean of stories...
This is not what I expected for my first book by Rushdie. It's funny and imaginative and delightful. It made me smile. It made me laugh. It made me chant along at parts. I think the best word for it is charming. It is charming.
Such a sweet and fun little story! I so enjoyed it and found it to be really easily read and digestible. I understand why it might be a childrens' favorite.
