Haroun and the Sea of Stories - Salman Rushdie

Whatever the world says, Salman Rushdie is a great storyteller. I remember the excitement and awe when I first read Midnights Children. He has not lost his touch for magical nonsensical yet greatly readable stories. Haroun begins with a journey where Haroun and his mega storyteller father are taken to a meeting where his father's stories stop all of a sudden. Traveling to the land of stories to find out why, Haroun discovers an evil villain is polluting the sea of stories. Princess's, talking fish, a flying bus and a mad gardener all make this adventure worth a read.If you do not like kooky flights of fancy, give it a miss.

7/10
