They All Fall Down · Part One by Juan Díaz Canales
3.0

This was alright. The whole anthropomorphizing angle has never been my bag, and I don’t think it really matters here either. Sometimes it works against it, externalizing peoples’ traits into human concepts of their respective animal. It’s very Sherlock-y as well. A detective noir mystery and an underground network of kids. The addition of a friend who is a reporter, who happens to go digging down the wrong hole, is different, but also familiar. It’s predictable but fine, if you’re into this sort of thing. Great art too.
