weeksj10: Rushdie's books focused around the Khalifa family are like a modern day Alice in Wonderland with a spicy bite from its Indian setting. The wordplay, characters, and plot all mirror those of Alice and like Carroll's book Rushdie's can and will be enjoyed by magic lovers of all ages.… (lisätietoja)
bookwoman247: Word play and language are an intregal part of both books. Ella Minnow Pea is a bit more sophisticated, but for adults or teens who enjoyed Haroun and the Sea of Stories, I think they will also find Ella Minnow Pea very enjoyable.
This is the first Rushdie book I've read & finished, and its a wonderful story - a fairy tales about where stories come from - with aspects of stories from all around the word. Even where Haroun's homeland is a fairytale, with dreary cities named only for letters, and politicians hire story tellers to tell wonderful fantasy's so that the populace will vote for them. It has hints of 'The Phantom Tool Booth', but while that book was written with a focus on wordplay, this book was written with a focus on stories and what they mean to people. ( )
Wunderbar erzählt. Phantastisch wie "Tausendundeine Nacht", nur in modernen Dialogen und voller Witz, an manchen Stellen vielleicht etwas überdreht. Toll zum Vorlesen! Ich habe es vor über zwanzig Jahren unter Erwachsenen gelesen/vorgelesen und viel Spaß dabei gehabt. Jetzt habe Ich es meinen Kindern vorgelesen (11J.) und die mochten es genauso gerne, nur dass sie an etwas anderen Stellen gelacht haben als Ich. Ich würde ja mehr schreiben, aber das ist ein vzsze Fall wie er (wortwörtlich) im Buche steht: viel zu schwer zu erklären. ( )
This is the first Rushdie novel I've read, and frankly I expected better. It's hard to pinpoint what I didn't like about it, though. I thought it had a lot of potential, but never capitalized. It seems to be about the power of stories, the importance of art, etc., but only in a cursory way. It kind of reminded me of The Never Ending Story, but didn't have the great drama of that harrowing moment when the Childlike Empress screams at Bastian to call her name. ( )
Charming, magical, hilarious. Haroun and the Sea of Stories feels like a fairy tale, moves like a fantasy adventure, and reads like literary fiction. It's absolutely appropriate and delightful for all ages. The prose is gorgeous. ( )
". . . [a] remarkable new children's book . . . [T]he experiences that lie behind 'Haroun and the Sea of Stories' are nearly as fantastic as anything in the tale. . . . full of comic energy and lively verbal invention."

There was once, in the country of Alifbay, a sad city, the saddest of cities, a city so ruinously sad that it had forgotten its name.

Still Haroun wanted to know why his parents hadn't had more children, but the only answer he ever got from Rashid was no answer at all:
'There's more to you, young Haroun Khalifa, than meets the blinking eye.'
Well, what was THAT supposed to mean? 'We used up our full quota of child-stuff just in making you,' Rashid explained. 'It's all packed in there, enough for maybe four-five kiddies. Yes, sir, more to you than the blinking eye can see.'
Straight answers were beyond the powers of Rashid Khalifa, who would never take a short cut if there was a longer, twistier road available.
