Jero reviewed Animals in That Country by Laura Jean Mckay

Aussie fiction.

Content warning Spoilers about the ending.

Stars: 3.5/5

I guess such a tragic and cut short ending left a bitter impression on my mouth, also the first 1/3rd of the book was pretty slow. Overall I enjoyed it though, I do live in Australia so it was nice to see some aussie fiction.

A interesting but messy and depressing time

3 stars

It was probably a mistake to read a novel about a virus sweeping across the land even at the end of 2021.

This is a rather dark and strange tale and I really struggled to get through it. No one is very likable. In parts it's quite hard to follow, but at times I suspect that it's a choice rather than a failure.
