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

4.0

Apocalyptic Ur-fairy tale with humor and just generalized weirdness. I didn't like it quite as much as The Satanic Verses (which is the only other Rushdie book I've read...sorry, Midnight's Children, maybe soon) - Two Years Etc seemed overly frenetic, hard to keep all the characters and their stories straight, particularly ones who appear only briefly but are important, and to keep all the events straight until they all tie together in the end.

The man has sentences that slip in the brain like buttah, though. Excellent last line.
