I did not enjoy this book, but I'm glad I read it nonetheless. I respect it. Does that make sense? There's no denying that it's a written masterpiece. I can see why it won not just the Booker Prize, but the "Booker of Bookers" as well. Reading it makes me feel accomplished. I'm proud to say "I read Midnight's Children," and I'm especially glad to remove a book from my Mt. TBR! But I didn't like it. The four star review is reflective of the book's objective quality, not my opinion of it.
