First reviews for Cary's new adult novel, 'The Animals'

"Funny, provocative, magical, and warmly engaging." — Vancouver Sun.

“Fagan distills enchantments from the ordinary while treating the forces that corrupt ordinary life with sardonic incision. Each scene proffers a surprise, strung together to form a sometimes baffling, always delightful whole.” —Forward Reviews

“Addictive…a puzzling and lively parable.” — Literary Review of Canada

“Adopting a wolf, weasel or wolverine sounds like an extremely bad idea, but in Cary Fagan’s novel The Animals, it adds to the overall zaniness of the topsy-turvey world he creates.” — Winnipeg Free Press

”An absolute pleasure to read. Just a lovely, immersive, transporting experience.” —Advance the Plot

“You will be absolutely ecstatic…lingers with you long after you’ve devoured the last word.” —Lindsay Wincherauk, I Love It

“The pages will fly by in this compact novel. The writing is excellent and the narrative resembles an allegorical fairy tale.” —She Treads Softly
