Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Ruchdie

This was a interesting fantasy about a boy and his father who was this revered storyteller. He told such amazing(some like his wife might say crazy) stories that he made a living from them. Rashid or as he might go by, the Shah of Blah or the Oceans of Notions, was very good at it. His family was not overly impress of took it for granted as they later found out. His wife, Soraya, so frustrated with him that she left him for another man, their neighbor no less. His son, Haroun, was so hurt by this that for a while he was stuck on losing focus after 11 minutes. Despite this, Rashid had faith that he was going to continue to be who he is. The journey to the town of G and valley of K was funny. Haroun saw many things that started to make sense to why his father was the way he is and that made him understand his father better. From the driver, Butt to the Walrus character, they saw some amazing things The ending of everything being happy and wondering if the Walrus had anything to do with this "fake" happy ending was questioning should Haroun and Rashid be happy that Soraya returned to them? Should they believe that the city they returned to was really happy(dancing in the rain)? Their incredible journey to this conclusion of what is real and what is not left one to ponder, should you care as long as you are happy?
