I can't understand why Queen of England give Salman Rushdie a Knight of literature status? Anyone who like to put dirty words and provoke people can easily produce such books like this!

Just like anyone who can draw can produce cartoon to mock one's religion. I wonder why is a big powerfull country like britian still uses old lame monarch system and believe in that Dumb Queen who actually like to read this so called book, that only brings a provocation after another with bad foul mouth langguage that's not even smart. (the most probable reason is that The queen never even read it in the first place)

If Rusdhie has at least some amount of humor like Southpark writers had, his foul mouth writing could sound Intelligent, but in this book is just purely lame.

Eric Bruen What? Your issue is with the queen? A bit off point in your critical review of the novel. And dirty words offend you? Read a children's boo...more

Gasp. H Penderton Wow,

Naivety is your strong point buddy.

Literature isn't about writing style, most of the time its about symbology and satire (such as "Lysistrata" by Aristophanes) among other things. Obviously, this book has something worth noting, its called opinion. Look it up.

What does the Queen's IQ have to do with anything? Love and peace bro. Who cares that this is about religion.
