A review by el_viral
Zoology by Ben Dolnick

3.0

Really more of a 2.5. I drifted through this book the way the protagonist and, it seems, almost everyone around him drift through their lives. To me, it says a lot that he recounts a couple if memories near-identical to ones that are very painful for me, but that the scenes don't elicit an emotional response. Solidly written, but certainly not 'beautiful and haunting' as the cover copy would have you think.
