review 1: Kitap ilk sayfalarından itibaren güçlü anlatımı,karakterleri ve kurgusuyla insanı etkisi altına alıyor. Vahşet dozu yüksek bir polisiye olmakla birlikte, enteresan bir şekilde hem insanın yüreğini burkan onca dram hem de güldüren diyaloglar içeriyor ve bittikten sonra Güney Afrikaya gitmiş kadar oluyorsunuz. Olayların failinin biraz erken ortaya çıkıyor olması dışında kitabı çok beğendim klasik polisiyelerden sıkılanlara tavsiye ederim.
review 2: Punishing and relentless. Last summer, I watched the World Cup like it was my job, and I was all, "South Africa seems to be doing well! Like - - it's nice there!" Then I read this. Beyond the vineyards of Cape Town and the beaches of Durban, the black Townships are a series of Heirony... moremous Bosch landscapes teeming with drugs and bebasement, where poverty, AIDS, and inter-ethnic strife have misshapen the citizens into demons out of hell, devoid of conscience or reason. ZULU pulls the verdant canopy off of SA's international profile and uses an absorbing mystery to reveal the hideous legacy of Apartheid. It's similar in structure, tone, and theme to James Ellroy, with three damaged, flawed men on a one-way trip to doom courtesy of the monolithic forces of power, money, and history, but the language is more dramatic. Really not for the faint of heart, the violence is horrfic, like surrealistic visions of hell from an absinthe-drinking painter, but it is never gratuitous. I really can't recommend it highly enough, but jesus, be prepared. Shit is DARK. less
