I really liked the premise of getting an animal after commiting a crime. The mystery that followed was unexpected and definitely had some less than savory elements weaved in that made for a rich, but dark story.

While I loved the plot during the first half or so of the novel, near the end I found the storyline and the direction it was heading in to be quite strange (although I wasn’t sure how I would’ve liked the narrative to go) so I started to lose interest and didn’t really enjoy the ending as much as it’s beginning. One of the things that bothered me a little about the plot is to do with Zinzi’s past and how she gains her sloth.
