janedallaway 's review for:
Zoo City
by Lauren Beukes
This book was the reason I bought the humble bundle (http://www.humblebundle.com/). I'd read the sample chapter via my kindle and thought it sounded like a good read.
It started really well, but I lost my engagement with it part way through. I liked the near-future aspect, similar to some of the William Gibson novels where the majority seems familiar, or only just not familiar, but with some interesting parallelism - in this case the notion of being animalled post committing a crime. Like the daemons of the northern lights trilogy but less ubiquitous.
Enjoyable, easy to read but didn't capture my attention
