The
Midnight Zoo is about two brothers, Andrej and Tomas, and their struggle
through life along. They must find food and shelter for them and their very
young sister, Wilma. They are only children themselves and already they must
take on responsibilities that many adults can not cope with. Then, one night
when they are looking for sources of food, money and shelter, they stumble
across a dark secret.
I did not
like this book. I felt that it took ages to get into the story and that it was
quite a childish theme. I also felt that it kept leaping from one extreme to
another, changing subject all too quickly. I feel that far too many subjects
were covered in this book as well. And that there was too many big stories both
realistic and not. There were a lot of characters to try and keep track of as
well.
So, I think
that the idea for the book was very good, but it needs to be simplified, there
was far too much going on at one time. I could not put this book down because
if I did I would lose track of everything that was happening and have to read
from the beginning again.
