coffeeandink 's review for:

Zoo City by Lauren Beukes
3.0

[b:The Golden Compass|119322|The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, #1)|Philip Pullman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1290482272s/119322.jpg|1536771] as hard-boiled noir set in Johannesburg. Liked the voice.

Bechdel pass on the basis of Zinzi's discussions with the Stork and with the foster-mom when searching for Song, but it's noticeable that all her major relationships in the book are with men. She has ex-lovers and present lovers but apparently no friends.
