The New York Times
"The playful surrealism and improvisatory sleight of hand that welded the mundanewith the mythic (in earlier novels) has given way to a mixture of the banal and thebizarre."
The Economist
"Less furious than spurious. If Fury is Mr Rushdie’s bid to write a GreatAmerican Novel, he has been brought low in
the attempt."
The Atlantic
"(The love scenes) are the sillier episodes in this mostly very silly book. Afterthree marriages, Rushdie still seems to think that somewhere out there is a perfect womanfor every man."
The Times, London
In his earlier books, "characters could travel through time or fall from airplanesand live, no problem. In Fury, the magic touch has gone."
