A review by beetree
Song of Kali by Dan Simmons
3.0
We had to read this in a university level fantasy literature course.
This book is absolutely horrific and probably the scariest book I've ever read (which actually sounds worse than it is because I don't read horror). Brilliantly written, creepy and difficult, and even thinking about while writing this review a long time after I've read it - nauseating. It makes me freakishly nervous over Calcutta (which is too bad because my father was born there). Swept right into the city and like the characters, claw tooth and nail to find a way out. It's very very well done, but it gets a 3 from me because I have such an aversion to it (which just proves its effectiveness).
