Review title: Overwrought and superficial
Product review: The metaphor of fury is a nice a idea, but just doesn't pan out for all of America. Rushdie skims over the surface of things, but doesn't really get past the consumer culture facade he tries to creakily prop up and lampoon. The protagonist is the only character with any depth. Also, the murder and coup subplots are just plain unbelievable. The book reads like a hasty, cutsey, journalistic first draft.Finally, the events of 9/11 make the whole book seem dated.
