Gray

by Christian DeWolf

Father Gray is a successful real estate agent at SootCo, coasting on the work of others while he hides in his office, perfecting his hazelnut cappuccino recipe. But Cat City favours the cats, and when the other animals decide to rise up and take over, the SootCo team gets embroiled in a battle that they want absolutely no part of. Threatened by a well-armed strike team from competitor Real Estate Unlimited, as well as the possibility that the third floor might contain ghosts, Gray and his coworkers need to use all of their swivel chair expertise to protect their lives, their jobs, and their reputation with the fancy lobster place across the street, which does not look favourably on cancelled reservations.

[C.L. Lynch · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not like any book you have ever read. A strange sort of Zootopia, where racist cats rule the day. It reads like Zootopia meets Office Space - the main characters are hilariously terrible people and very lazy office workers. They mostly ignore the plot (which involves an animal revolution, spies, and corporate intrigue) while battling each other from their wheelie office chairs and finding ways to avoid working. Very funny, and unusual, with a lot of political allegory behind it.
