The Human Zoo by Sabina Murray

3.0

I wish half stars were possible. This was better than a three but not quite a four. I very much appreciated the twists in the story, the plot that was set in a time and place not common in American fiction, and the fact that the story was told succinctly and not dragged out to add more pages. I felt there were a few characters that were slightly underdeveloped and what the reader is led in the opening pages to believe is the premise ends up not to be the case. This is definitely a book worth picking up. I would call it a beach read because it reads easily even though the subject matter is not easy and it isn’t too long.
