On the evening of September 3rd, 2010, Shane Forster, like most Christchurch residents, had never heard of liquefaction (the phenomenon in which an earthquake reduces the strength and stiffness of soil to match the consistency and unpleasantness of diarrhoea). Had he known that his life on earth would end in less than eight hours, he might have tried to spend his remaining time doing something more meaningful than clipping his toe nails.
Join Shane on this exciting adventure to a brave new world where there is no pain, no suffering, and, for the time being at least, no cats.
Zoo is a silly book about love, friendship, giant space lizards, talking cats, and the meaning of life. It is most definitely not about earthquakes, politicians, or insurance companies. Honest.
