Silly is the only way to describe this one but it was a quick read. Reminded me of some of the madcap movies made in the thirties.

[Mary Eve · Rating 3 out of 5]

Such an odd tale. The Madness of May is about a fictional book, a book that brings on May madness to its readers. The fictional author intended it to be a "text book of happiness". Whatever it is, it turns one into a freaky freak show. Weird as this little classic gem is, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't somewhat entertaining; sort of like a bad acid trip. Comically mysterious. I didn't have the heart to award a silly romp two golden asterisks. Three stars it is.
