Zoo City by Lauren Beukes

4.0

Wow. Okay. There is a LOT to process here! This is definitely not something that I would normally pick up plot-wise, but the writing style is so clever! There are a lot of moving pieces, and while I personally would have preferred to just read about the protagonist's more mundane adventures as a things-finder, I cannot deny that Beukes handles such an intricate plot very well. The plot does feel a little too big sometimes, muddling details here and there, but overall, I'm impressed with the ambition and execution of Zoo City. I'd love to read another novel by Beukes when I don't have to cram most of it in just a few days for class!
