5/5
I tend not to give 5's unless a book is really special. This one is really special. The sense of magic is both natural and unreal. You don't bat an eye as reality morphs into something on the edge of comprehension. Like most of Rushdie's work there is also an interwoven commentary about society as a whole, life, death, the comprehension and refusal thereof. It feels like stepping into a fairy tale, but a grown up fairy tale with the light escaping the world feel of good fantasy and simultaneously the real weight of life and it's unanswerable questions mixed in.
