Too many characters, too many plot lines. I couldn’t keep up. The writing style was beautiful, though.

A complex story with compelling characters. I would definitely recommend it.
Vivek Mandal –
Rushdie’s talent shines through, but this isn’t his best work. Still, a good read.
Avish M Bhandari –
The writing is great, but I found Shalimar to be unlikeable. Made it hard to be invested.
Kanishk Kumar –
A powerful story, though the sheer number of characters made it hard to keep track. Kashmir’s plight is portrayed vividly.

Rushdie’s prose is beautiful, but the story felt a bit disjointed. Still, a worthwhile read for its exploration of Kashmir.

Overrated. I found the plot confusing and the characters unlikeable.

Decent book, but not his best work. Little bit slow paced.

A challenging but rewarding read. The historical context is fascinating, and the characters are complex.

Too lengthy and the story dragged on. Not what I was expecting.

A stunning novel! Rushdie’s best! The story is captivating, and the writing is superb.

Mesmerizing language, but the plot meandered. I appreciated the historical context.

I loved the writing, but the story felt a bit too long and drawn out. Worth reading for Rushdie’s prose alone.
