Description In Favor Of Books Zoo City

Zinzi has a Sloth on her back, a dirty 419 scam habit and a talent for finding lost things. But when a little old lady turns up dead and the cops confiscate her last paycheck, she’s forced to take on her least favourite kind of job – missing persons. Being hired by reclusive music producer Odi Huron to find a teenybop pop star should be her ticket out of Zoo City, the festering slum where the criminal underclass and their animal companions live in the shadow of hell’s undertow. Instead, it catapults Zinzi deeper into the maw of a city twisted by crime and magic, where she’ll be forced to confront the dark secrets of former lives – including her own.

Write-Up Epithetical Books Zoo City

http://www.rantingdragon.com/zoo-city...Zoo City is a standalone novel set in a fictional Johannesburg, South Africa. In Zoo City, if you commit a felonious sin, the Undertow comes for you and marks you with first an animal companion that serves as a manifestation of your sin, and second a supernatural talent. Both the animal and the talent are called mashavi. The sinners are called aposymbiots, and are relegated to living in a slum known as Zoo City.Zinzi December is an aposymbiot: her animal

3.5 stars rounded up. I enjoyed it more than expected. Beukes is my first South African author and it is quite refreshing to read a speculative fiction book set in (alternate version) of Johannesburg. I love the slangs, the worldbuilding, the city lives, and of course the animal familiars in there. Sloth is cute!The book is fast paced but sometimes it is easy to get lost in the details. The main character is so deliciously cheeky and witty, I love reading her thoughts and dialogues. Still

While I'm not usually a big fan of urban fantasy, I really enjoy the writing style of Lauren Beukes, and loved her other novel Moxyland. Her female characters are strong, flawed and cynical, but above all realistic and relatable. On top of that, the protagonist in this one has a sloth. Yep. A sloth.Zoo City has one hell of an original premise - that people who commit a grave crime such as murder, find themselves bonded to a magical animal familiar, and should that animal die, a dark force called

Second read for this fantasy. Hugely energetic mystery based around a brilliantly weird idea: people who commit serious crimes find themselves with linked animals, a bit like daemons but not nice--and if the animal dies, a weird shadowy doom comes for the person. The exploration of the social impacts of this (eg bad boy pop stars faking being animalled to look hard, or the issues of being animalled in prison) and the documentary inserts are probably my favourite aspects of this--the plot is a

I like ZOO CITY more for the concept than actual story that is until the darker side of key players comes to light. Beukes creates a world teaming with real world comparisons separated by unique twists of the fantastical. The plot, once established, is pretty straight forward and conforms to the typical PI case format comprising a series of interviews, background digging, violent encounters etc as the protagonist, Zinzi December, and her sloth source the target. Having previously used her

3.5 stars(sheesh, here we go again with Goodreads sucking up my reviews....twice...)Gonna keep this short: I was very impressed with my first encounter with Lauren Beukes' imaginative stylings (not unlike those of China Miéville). Zoo City, impossible to pigeon-hole (is it science fiction? dystopia? thriller? social commentary? good old fashioned magical murder mystery? kinda "yes" to all) is a bizarre, alternate universe'd, present day reimagining of Johannesburg, South Africa, one where

Ahoy there me mateys! This be one of me reads in me May BookBum Club Challenge where the theme be around the world: a book by an author who is from another country. This author be from South Africa. I was reminded of this books existence from me recent look at me NetGalley Rejections Part Two. I had requested it back in the day and was denied. So what better time to read it then for this challenge?The blurb starts with Zinzi has a sloth on her back. A women who is bonded with a sloth? Ummm yes!
