Fury: A Novel Audiobook

" reading it in spanish "

" Rushdie displays a bit of range that we did not know he possessed and comes up with his most accessible and enjoyable novel. "

" Rushdie seems to have lost his fire during his forced exile. There is anger here - but inconclusive anger "

" Fury? A better title might be Impotence, Poor Decision Making or Whiny Discontent, and the old author has a beautiful women chasing him. Uggggggh. Only a few stylistic twists save this one from one star. "

" Very heavy and verbose. I had a tough time getting through it though parts were very insightful and the prose, when not over the top highbrow, was beautiful. "

" this book is superb........da only rushdie i could put my hands on till date......its has hint of mystery but more important is Rushide's mastery....i loved it "

" My first Salman Rushdie book. He is all over the place and a very poetic writer. "

" I don't know what it is, but I just don't like SR's writing. It's too fantasy-esque. And I hate the fantasy genre. Too bad, because I do like his talks. "

" What a timely book! "

" Wish I know crux of his writings!! .. Need to read him more. "

" A somewhat frightening glimpse of fury - and one which feels a little autobiographical and thus real. "

" This book is absolutely ludicrous. "

" Salman Rushdie's pop-culture references, rich language and intelligent wit make this a blistering read. He pulls off some pretty wacky stuff in his books with panache. Rushdie for the Nobel Prize! "

" A good story that I guess is based loosely on real characters in Rushdie's life. As usual, I find his mastery of words to be richly rewarding for the listener/reader. "

" While Satanic Verses will go down as his most notable work for sure, I found this book to be hands down his most enjoyable, relatable and wonderfully discontented. "

" I didn't finish this as I got a bit tired of the constant jumping about and the lack of story development. "

" hard to get into in the beginning portion, but becomes more engaging later on. a bit dispairing, and sometimes with rambling passages amidst the interesting parts, but at least an easy-to-follow writing style. "

" Disappointing read of a falling giant "

" After reading Midnight's Children I was super excited to read more Rushdie. And while his language in Fury was still beautiful, I found neither the characters nor plot very likeable. "

" Not quite on the level of "Underworld" in terms of badness (and not in a good way), but only because it's a couple of hundred pages shorter. "

" Mid-life crisis on paper. Disappointing. "

" There are others who reviewed the book better than I can. I just didn't like it. Thought it sucked actually. Flipped through to see if it would improve and from what I could tell, it just got worse, so I quit. Then I read other reviews and was glad I didn't bother plodding though it. "

" Salman Rushdie meets Super Mario Brothers "

" Beautiful fairytale, strikingly similar to The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster and just as re-readable. A truly fantastic tale. "

" Interesting fairy tale and sweeping review of all the gods and could up date with current technology. Luka reminded me a lot of Mario. "

" The Oddsey + the Legend of Zelda + The Lord of the Rings + Super Mario Brothers + 1001 Arabian Nights. Good fun read, would be good for children who are good readers. "

" Very entertaining. Reminded me of Arabat, a young child falling into an alternative reality, populated by odd and interesting creatures. I love the idea of all the old Gods hanging out together because no one thinks they are important anymore. Makes me want to read Haroun and the Sea of Stories. "

" A fun and heartening read. A beautifully told story of youth dealing with the concept of death. So lighthearted, free and youthful, that the heaviness of Luka's task feels negligible. Definitely going to my young nephew's bookshelf and his grandfather's too! "
