Newest Review: ... - is pretty much my take on how the Rwandan genocide came about. The Belgian colonialists created two groups - the Hutus and ... more

 ... the Tutsis (equivalent to my brunettes and blonds) and the whole thing went utterly crazy in 1994 leading to the deaths of between 800 000 and one million people. Outside Africa the rest of the world watched the news reports, tutted to themselves and did far too little - after all, there's no oil in Rwanda, is there? Probably like me - if you remember it at all - you didn't have any idea where Rwanda was or anything about its history. Perhaps even now, you still couldn't place it on a map. Maybe you suppressed...more

Enjoyable, light, fun read a little far fetched at times, not as giid as some of her other novels

excellent, like all of Rushdie's work, interesting in view of 11.09.01 shorter than usualno 'magic realism', like in other books

Plenty to dip in and out of. Lots of quick reads A bit of repetition here and there

A far reaching work of magical reality Doesn't quite reach it's ambitions

Compelling Historical Tale. A Little Dull at Times.
