I am glad I read this because his poetry marks an important period in history, but I really didn't find it as enjoyable to read as I wished that I would!

What an interesting book! It's not bad for something written so long ago, either. Most of the time I find that books this old don't hold up, but the worlds, technology, and concepts utilized are well-crafted and sufficiently advanced that it doesn't seem out-of-place in comparison to today's technology. He does an excellent job of dealing with alien cultures and viewpoints as well, allowing for genuine cultural misunderstandings and inabilities to comprehend even the most basic of human motivations.
not done yet - very well might change this to five stars. well have to wait and see.

Acquired Taste is the sequel to Icing on the Cake. In this instalment of Ollie and Jeff’s story, Ollie is ready to kiss his lover goodbye due to Jeff's inability to commit to the relationship. This book is winner, not only because it is free from Ellora's Cave, but because it gives those readers who loved the previous story another dose of these likeable characters. Very enjoyable.

The novel begins as Aliya is on a London-bound airplane after graduating from college in Massachusetts. Aliya is a young Pakistani woman and is on her way home to Karachi. She is a natural storyteller and spends the flight relaying tales of her family, the Dar-e-Dils, to several of the other passengers. Throughout their history, the Dard-e-Dil family has had sets of `not-quite twins' who bring bad luck or shame to the family. Aliya tells tales of her family and these twins back to the time of the Mughals, during the time of the Partition of India and Pakistan, and up until modern day Pakistan. The novel alternates between the present day and Aliya's telling of the family legends. The book contains fabulous descriptions of food that made my mouth water. Shamsie has created excellent, vivid descriptions of meals cooked by Aliya's family's cook, Masood. The title of the book is derived from a discussion between Masood and another character regarding the use of spices. `Salt and Saffron' explores issues of misunderstandings and expectations between family members. It also raises the concept of fate and relations between different social classes. The prose did seem a bit `thick' and overly descriptive in parts, and probably could've been shortened, but it wasn't enough to detract from the book as a whole. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Indian/Pakistani literature and also to anyone who loves to read about food.
not funny

First off, let me start by saying that this is not a religious book, it can be viewed that way if you want to, but in case you're one of those people that are scared off by religious books, this isn't one. Now, on to the more important matters... Almost from the first word I had become sucked into this book and Ninah's character, a flawed, naive girl who truly doesn't know better. She's sweet, tries hard, but just doesn't know what she needs to know. The way Reynolds has written her, doesn't make her naivity annoying, but just adds to her character. Part of what makes this book so interesting is that it's written in a way that completely immerses you in their obscure and different world, but allows you to keep your own knowledge and ideals about you, so that you look back and can still think, "That's so wrong!" Ninah goes through a trying journey and we are along for the ride. I was enthralled with every character that graced the pages of this book. Even though they may only show up in one sentence, Reynolds writes in such a way that you know if you asked her she could give a complete history about that character. This book holds so much depth to it, but it's presented in such a way that the reader doesn't feel like their drowning. The one small problem I did have was that the ending seemed a little too abrupt. Perhaps it's just me, but I felt there wasn't enough closure and I wanted to know a little more. But what I dislike, someone else may love. There's a lot more I want to say about the book, but I would end up giving too much away. This is definitely a book I say you should read. Beautiful, touching and moving every word pulls you even more into this world that the feeling of disgust you felt at the beginning has turned to pity, and in some weird way, a small glimmer of joy.
