Outstanding surprise!

This was my first reading of anything by Salman Rushdie. I’m sorry I’ve kept myself from this pleasure until now!

I had no idea of his wit, the gems of humor, human nature observations, delightful turns of phrasing I would find on nearly every page! I found the stories-within-stories to be refreshing, thought provoking in their humor, irony and clever words choices. I loved the characters and, the narration was superb — one of the best of the hundreds of narrators I’ve now heard. I’ll read/listen to more of Rushdie and look for more narration by Neil Shah! Pure pleasure!

Fun Arabian Alice in Wonderland

This is a very fun story. It’s a sweet adventure story that moves swiftly and holds your attention. Suitable for the entire family with names that will make everyone giggle, especially the kiddos. I’ve been wanting to read Salman Rushdie for a long time and hadn’t gotten around to it. What a great imagination and flare for storytelling. I will definitely be reading another and soon.

Pretty good nice story

One of the better of the books I’ve had to read for school! glad they made me read it

Haroun, Hooray!

I don’t think I have ever enjoyed a book designed for children more than I did this one.
Salmon Rushdie performs with charm and delight. I have recommended this book to many friends and, now, to you.

A true delight

My all time favorite book. I first read it in highschool and now that my eyes make it difficult to enjoy reading I'm thrilled to have found this audio version.
