This book is hard to describe so I will go with the goodreads summary sentence: The Zoo is a cutting satire, told through the refreshing voice of one gutsy boy who will not give up on hope.
That said it was kind of hard to get into at first and I stopped and started several times - causing an insanely long elapsed read time. The writing style reminded me of Catch 22 even though the voice is of 12 year old Yuri, an injured but perceptive boy who is caught up in Stalin’s universe full of body doubles, food tasting, and torture. Interesting but not for everyone.
