beingbreezie 's review for:

Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights by Salman Rushdie

2.0

---

Though I appreciated the commentaries on modern society and the symbolic representations possessed by each of the characters, the novel was too much a string of stories, told rather than shown. I couldn't connect to the characters and their dire situation, and the cataclysmic fate of the world felt like something that could be resolved by a simple bolt from the Lightning Princess or even her gravity-defying lover.
