A review by deea_bks
Fury by Salman Rushdie
2.0
While reading the first chapters of this book, I felt like highlighting every line. The sentences were so nicely constructed and the turn of phrases made each line delightful. I thought the whole book would be like this, but it wasn't.
This is not my first Rushdie and ever since I read "Shalimar the Clown" (my first book by Rushdie) which was amazing, I hoped that I would find at least one of his books as good as this one. So far, I haven't. Not even "Midnight Children" was at the height of my expectations (It was a very good book, but at some points also very annoying).
Fury starts like a masterpiece and turns into a total crap. I try to finish all the books I start as I truly think there must be something good in them, something that I would enjoy, and I also got through all this book, but it was quite an effort to be attentive until the end. If it weren't for the beginning which was quite striking, I wouldn't give this book 2 stars.
