### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A very interesting story and seems to parallel a lot with Donald Trump.
  

*by S***W on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2018*

This is a very interesting read but beware, Salman Rushdie is very erudite and it's not a breezy, easy read.  You do have to concentrate.  While it's fiction, you can't help but feel you're reading about Donald Trump.  Certainly much of what's in the book is accurate in terms of news of the day, politics, issues and even all the weather disasters we experienced in 2017.  I suggested it for my book club and we will be discussing it in a few weeks; and so far, it seems everyone is really enjoying it and looking forward to the discussion.  There is lots to discuss...lots of symbolism and poignant messages about us as a people, our priorities and the face we put out to the public.  I'm really glad I read it.

    Literary masterpiece
  

*by G***F on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2017*

As a typical Rushdie novel, this book is a brilliant literary showcase. This is not a political satire. Don't go by the description of the book. Sure, it's set around the American elections of 2016 but that's just a thread on the sideline. This is the story of a family that's shrouded in mystery. The characters are intriguing. The plot is not too difficult to follow like some other Rushdie novels. However, the language is absolutely beautiful. The mood throughout the book is fluid. Sometimes gay and sometimes sombre. That's Rushdie playing with the reader.Overall, I'd highly recommend this book for Rushdie fans. Definitely not for someone looking for a political satire.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    dense but compulsively readable and poetic
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2017*

To me, Salman Rushdie novels are kind of like opera- you don't go for the story, you go for the way the story is expressed. You either love it or you hate it. But the bones of the story just function as a container for the expression. (I hope that makes sense.)"The Golden House" is no different. The story is about an international family - father, three sons- and their move to a little cloister of houses in New York City. One of their neighbors takes it upon himself to chronicle their experience and the novel is told from his perspective.To be completely honest, the story didn't interest me at all and I wasn't that invested in the characters, but I *was* invested in the writing. I'm usually a stickler for empathetic characters and solid plot but when the writing is wonderful, it can make up the difference.To me, Rushdie is a powerful novelist, not content to stick to any sort of genre or format within his writing. Some passages contain quotations marks to indicate speech, some do not. Some events are told in screenplay format, others in long winded speeches given by the oldest brother (who is on the autism spectrum and can recite details with ease.) The novel is dense, but it all sort of flows off the page effortlessly.This isn't a book you dip in and out of, I don't think. I usually am forced to read pages of books when I get a little free time here and there. However, I had the time this past week to sit down for a couple of hours in the afternoons, and I found myself instantly drawn into the book and Rushdie's writing. I can't consider myself a Rushdie fan, simply because I don't think my reading style (grabbing pages when I can, a few minutes here, a few minutes there... sometimes not being able to read for a few days) suits his writing style, so I can't really compare how "The Golden House" compared to many of his other novels. But compared to what I've been reading the past few years, I'm pretty impressed.This is the kind of book that makes me want to change my reading habits and spend more time reading good books instead of just dipping in and out of whatever is on my bedside table whenever I have some time.
