A review by kbratten
Fury by Salman Rushdie

3.0

I've never read any Salmon Rushdie, and reading reviews of this book I take it this is not his best work. I understand why people love his writing style. His word choice is amazing. The story isn't bad, necessarily. I would have liked it more if all the build up of his complicated relationship with the women in his life were not left to fizzle in a random war halfway around the world. I enjoyed delving into the concept of fury, but the point seems to be that the resolution of fury is time, and a new girlfriend. It could have/should have been more interesting than that. He had all the pieces there, but didnt come through.
