Yeah it is disappointing - but then maybe its just because I know what it was supposed to be about, and what its known for(the trans-gender thing) - and its disappointing when you're so far in a book and its still like its an introduction! I'm now about 2/3 through it and it has started talking about it, but it really could have been cut down so much. I assume the Midnight's Children that the reviews were talking about is the Salman Rushdie one, so that should be good :)

thanks for the compliment :D I never know if they're good or just waffle - I don't think they're good enough to post on any "proper" book review things, hehe! - but thanks for saying so :D
