msaari reviewed Zoo City by Lauren Beukes
Review of 'Zoo City' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Intriguing. The world of zoos – people who commit a crime, and are punished with an animal familiar attached to them in some magical way – is interesting, and the South African setting is unusual. The plot also has curious elements: pop music, 419 scams, extortion, murder... All in all a refreshing, unusual book.
