Özet

Zinzi December 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.

I was given the book by my brother for Christmas and liked it so much that I had to get the audio as well. Fabulous story Brilliantly performed by Justine Eyre. Took me back to Jo’burg, evocative portrayal of life in South Africa. Each character perfectly drawn and what a great portrayal of having a personal daemon in the form of an animal which is the embodiment of your guilt. Loved it. I wouldn’t mind reading more adventures with Zinzi December.

An interesting take on carrying your crimes with you

A self-aware detective story set by slums and gated communities, whose mysterious investigator is always looking at the angles. Although written by a white South African, the research shows, and very few characters are stale or predictable. Looking forward to future works by Beukes

Sarcastic and cynical fun

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I had heard a lot of good things about this book. Awards had been numerous? But I was bored. The basic premise was promising, with the "daemons" representing sins but it was so wasted and descended into a very basic, though dull, thriller /detective story. i could understand if it was the first in a trilogy but I felt as if it didn't really go anywhere.

What will your next listen be?

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Nope

Did Zoo City inspire you to do anything?

Find something better

Any additional comments?

I would definitely not recommend this book to anyone else. Look elsewhere before spending your precious credits.

Disappointing!

The voice over is not authentically South African so this makes for jarring listening.
