It is the perfect distillation of a reading experience - something that makes you wonder and contemplate at the same time as being a breeze and a joy to pick up."<br /><br />That's exactly what I think of Zoo City.

But the others may be equally good - or maybe even more so. You could be missing out on another incredible reading experience.Adam Christopherhttp://www.adamchristopher.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
