--
Zoo City is a fabulous outing from an extremely promising writer [It] has so much fabulous wordplay, imaginative settings and scenarios, and such a dark and cynical heart that I was totally riveted by it.
Beukes (Moxyland) delivers a thrill ride that gleefully merges narrative styles and tropes, almost single-handedly pulling the urban fantasy subgenre back towards its groundbreaking roots.
An energetic and imaginative fusion of sci-fi, fantasy and noir thriller Beukes has created a convincing and frequently disturbing world, while also looking at the lost and the marginalised through the eyes of a compelling, believably flawed protagonist Zoo City is an absolute must for anyone with a taste for the wilder edges of the genre.
5 * and an SFX Recommends badge.
Lauren Beukes stuns with a richly textured venture into a pseudo-fantastical Johannesburg of the future this is a fine novel that will wrap itself around your imagination like a sloth on your own shoulders.
