The Enchantress of FlorenceSalman Rushdie
Another review of mine has been posted at Pajiba, and this time it's on the latest by Salman Rushdie, The Enchantress of Florence. I haven't read much in favor of this novel, so I was less than thrilled to begin. All things considered, I was pleasantly surprised, although Rushdie is still far from being one of my contemporary faves.

In a nutshell: Not the best, not the worst. Rushdie's still a pimp.
Bibliolatry Scale: 3 out of 6 stars

I just won this book in a contest last month, but my reading backlog forced me to put it aside for now. I had only read one review before yours, and that person like the book. Now that I've hear somewhat opposing viewpoints, it will be interesting to see what I think of it once I do read it.
I'll hang on to this link so I can include it in my review whenever I get around to writing it.
Did you see your Uncle Jim's review on RabbitReader? He loves all things Rushdie. I haven't tried any yet! -- Ramona

A pimp??? Where on earth did you get that? Explain thyself, woman!

It's a compliment -- he's a pimp because he goes through women faster than any unattractive man I've ever seen. That man must have a honey-coated tongue.
Ok now I've officially grossed myself out.
Bibli:
In MY generation, a pimp means big, feathery hats, lots of bling, a cadillac with tiger-stripe seatcovers, and a chain for a steering wheel.
NOT a compliment, although, I have to say, I have heard some millenials use it the way you did. In fact, now that I think about it, someone called me a pimp in those days bfore I settled down.
