Definitely worth a read though.

I haven't read The Satantic Verses verses yet. I've been more interested in Rushdie's non-fiction to begin with, but of course I want to read the book that got him in trouble. The essay collection I'm reading also touches upon the aftermath of that book.

And I don't think the book would be over your head. Rushdie is a very readable author.
