Comment on SciFi Discussion – Zoo City by Lindsey

I was very nicely given a library copy of the book, which i dutifully read – and enjoyed – but was unable to make the discussion. So I will try and attend on 21st to return said book.
My contributions. I’d give it a 3.5/5. Primarily I enjoyed reading it, the tantalising yet not quite introduced from first principles bits of information which were scattered around the book about the origin of the ‘animaled’ were just sufficient not to leave too many questions and confusions. The setting was frankly, frightening, many of the characters were wholly horrible yet the heroine was relatable to the degree I could at some points put myself in her shoes. The description of the more banal aspects of daily routine helped for this. As a thriller, who dun nit, what the heck is going on, my interest waxed and waned but overall I was intrigued enough by the telling of society descending into the depths where personal safety is never guaranteed.

Hi Donald. Thanks.
Was mixed up with travelling man which also sells games.

I know the magic stuff is whole weekends over the next 2 weekends.

FanBoy3 is actually on Newton Street, just round the corner from Dale Street.

Anyone who is free on Sunday evenings is welcome to join the group of us who play boardgames there between 7 and 11pm. That’s even when there are big Magic events, by Sunday night most of them are played out.

I’m intending to get along to MadLab on Monday and I’ll bring a playtest copy of Martin Wallace’s next game – Mythotopia.

Hi Antoine, thanks for the comment. There is a good game shop on Dale Street called FanBoy3. It covers most if not all your needs. If you intend to go there, I would avoid the weekends of the 28th/29th Jan and 4th/5th Feb as the new set of Magic: the Gathering is released and it gets busy.

I hope we see you on the 30th.
Kat.

Hi,
Sorry to pop in for a post out of subject but I’m trying to find a nice board games shop in the area and I struggle. Seems pretty hard to find anything if you’re not looking for classic family board games (monopoly @ toys’r'us) or Roleplay games (games workshop, forbidden planet, etc.)

Cheers
