I'm about 60 pages into The Satanic Verses.

It seems kinda meh at the moment, with lots of silly situations, and OTT prose. Actually kinda juvenile. But, some of it is well-written, and there have been a few actually funny parts. I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a good book, just an infamous book.

I don't know who recommended it to you, I never read it, just enjoy it for what it is I guess.

You asked for recommendations a while back and I'm not sure if you saw mine for Le Guin and Vidal, yet.

It's a good book, but people usually read it because of it's 'infamous' reputation.

Read it as a book, not as an 'infamous' book, and it's actually pretty good.

the best part is the introduction of the butterfly girl later on
the worst part is the 100+ pages of saladin sitting around in the cafe.
