Zoo City

This book is a little better than the rating I gave it. I was just disappointed in it because there wasn't much fantasy. I realize this is an urban fantasy, but the book felt more like a murder mystery with a little magic thrown in. The magic is interesting, having to do with animals attaching themselves to people, sort of like a tangible spirit animal for troubled people. The prose is delightful. The character development isn't too bad. It just didn't add up into an enjoyable reading experience for me. Nonetheless, this book won a couple of awards, the Clarke and the Red Tentacle, and was nominated for a few others.
