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

2.0

---

I had a hard time with this one. I have yet to read anything by this author (and I know he's well-loved) but this was probably not the right book to start with. The story is compelling enough but the narration was difficult to get through - it read like a textbook about the history of a time/place. Not only was I not expecting that, but it proved to make an otherwise incredibly interesting idea (jinn appearing in our world and messing with it) and giving it far too scholarly of a read. In short, I got bored with it after awhile.
