Given that this book has won not only the Booker Prize but the Booker of Booker Prize as well, my hopes were high. Granted, Midnight's Children is very well written, and there are passages that are simply beautiful. I did find, though, the lack of character development a real barrier for me, so while I thought the book was very good, I didn't think it was excellent. It's worth reading though, if only to have a view on a book that is supposed to be the best book of the last 25 years.
Slightly over-rated rating: 10/10
Overall rating: 8/10
