A review by laviskrg
Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights by Salman Rushdie

5.0

This book is beyond the concept of "best books of my life". It is a miracle of literature, or art, of magical realism and storytelling. Furthermore, it came out in the perfect time, considering the way in which religion, stupidity, lack of culture and, most importantly, LACK OF COHERENCE (hint hint) are destroying our world. This book made me think a lot about so many social issues and it is one of the most amazing and well put together metaphors in the literary world. Besides the profound meaning, there is entertainment and fun, joked and insistent repetitions that make this such a pleasant and relaxing read, while it is also a harrowing and horrifying fresco of our mutilated world.

Sublime, if I were to describe it in just one word. But not for those who prefer to dwell in the cess-pool of limited, short-sentenced, teeny boppy young adult. This is a book for adults, for intellectuals who know how to spot magic in meaning and depth in fable.
