Rushdie’s novel took a post-colonial “empire fights back” spirit, and a deep personal understanding of the politics of Indian partition, and exploded them into something teeming with imaginative life… He inhabits a hybrid consciousness, with a telepathic connection to the other children of midnight, and tells its stories for all he is worth. ― Observer

The extraordinary alchemy of Midnight’s Children was its miraculous fusion of the fantastical and the historical. ― Evening Standard

A magical-realist reflection of the issues India faced post-independence including culture, language, religion, and politics… It’s a truly incredible work. ― Verdict

A head-spinning tale... Rushdie's masterpiece virtually invented a new language for Anglo-Indian literature -- John Walsh ― Reader's Digest

Totally different to anything I'd read before: hilarious at times, frustrating at times, exploring how history is linked into our lives, plus lots of metaphors about chutney ― Skinny
