Lauren Beukes isvery, *very* good. It feelseffortless.Utterly accomplished
A fabulous outing from an extremely promising writer... [It] hasso much fabulous wordplay,imaginativesettings and scenarios, and such a dark and cynical heart thatI was totally riveted by it
Beukes's energetic noir phantasmagoria ...crackles with original ideas... Beukes skilfully employs all the twists offirst-rate noir...powerful indeed
Beukes deliversa thrill ridethat gleefully merges narrative styles and tropes,almost single-handedly pulling the "urban fantasy" subgenre back towards its groundbreaking roots
Energetic and imaginative...Packed with colour, dark humour and thought-provoking ideas,Zoo Cityisan absolute mustfor anyone with a taste for the wilder edges of the genre
Originalandunputdownable
Anunpredictable and helluva awesome read
Lauren Beukes is Jeff Noon crossed with Raymond Chandler.I loved it, it's going to be huge
I couldn't put this down. It's weird, thrilling, funny...filled with sleazy characters and lots of bad attitude
An unfamiliar land full of familiars, a broken Johannesburg peopled with damaged wonders...If our words are bullets, Lauren Beukes is a marksman in a world of drunken machine-gunners
Zoo Cityispure originality... a book that had me reading it revelling in Beukes' magical way with words
At times the witty and lyrical prose issheer magic, the storycaptivatingand the characters exotic, cruel andbeautifulwhile the backdrop of Johannesburg seethes with hidden, lurking dangers around every corner,Zoo Cityis quite simply captivating
