A magical-realist reflection of the issues India faced post-independence including culture, language, religion, and politics. It's a truly incredible work.
Jack Rear, Verdict
The extraordinary alchemy of Midnight's Children was its miraculous fusion of the fantastical and the historical.
Jereme Boyd Maunsell, Evening Standard
A wonderful, rich and humane novel that is safe to call a classic.
Sam Jordison, Guardian
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.
Tim Adams, Observer
Fresh and witty
Neema Shah, Eastern Eye
