Description During Books Zoo (Zoo #1)
A CBS-TV SERIES LAUNCHING JUNE 30, 2015!Once in a lifetime, a writer puts it all together. This is James Patterson's best book ever.
Total
For 36 years, James Patterson has written unputdownable, pulse-racing novels. Now, he has written a book that surpasses all of them. ZOO is the thriller he was born to write.
World
All over the world, brutal attacks are crippling entire cities. Jackson Oz, a young biologist, watches the escalating events with an increasing sense of dread. When he witnesses a coordinated lion ambush in Africa, the enormity of the violence to come becomes terrifyingly clear.
Destruction
With the help of ecologist Chloe Tousignant, Oz races to warn world leaders before it's too late. The attacks are growing in ferocity, cunning, and planning, and soon there will be no place left for humans to hide. With wildly inventive imagination and white-knuckle suspense that rivals Stephen King at his very best, James Patterson's ZOO is an epic, non-stop thrill-ride from "One of the best of the best."

Let me start off by saying that the premise of "Zoo" sounds like a very promising story. It's a techno-thriller set in the present day and explores a mystery illness suddenly spreading around the world that is causing all sorts of mammals to inexplicably attack humans on sight (and smell). From domesticated pets to wild animals, we've suddenly become nature's favorite snack.In reality, this book should probably be named, "50 Shades of Prey." The writing style leaves quite a bit to be desired.Oh dear sweet baby Jesus. The next time I think it's a good idea to read anything written by an author that writes an average of five novels a year, will someone please remind me of this literary travesty and that I have better things to spend my time reading?This is one of the worst novels I've read in a long, Long, LONG time. And the only, I repeat, the only reason I bothered finishing it is because the idea behind it could have come out as a truly amazing work of fiction in the hands of
The only reason I didn't throw in the towel and quit reading the horrible piece of crap that is James Patterson's latest novel, "Zoo," is that I felt if I continued on, it would make good fodder for a journal entry.I read most books on my Kindle, which tells me how much of the book I have read. I watched the numbers creep from 25% to 50% but by the time I reached 75% my tolerance level had reached its peak and I decided to give it up.James Patterson used to be good. He used to be quite good, but
Wow. This book, though.For a lover of dystopian, I was immediately drawn to this book for multiple reasons. While this is not a dystopian, it had some classic elements that I loved. One, we dun fucked up and there are detrimental consequences to our way of life as we know it. Two, Government officials (and all the way down to "Joe Shmo" level people) don't want to listen to the facts until it's too late, subsequently dooming us all. Three, our planet kicks the ever-loving shit out of us for
An absorbing thriller, I found Zoo to be entertaining and thought provoking. We have much maligned young biologist Jackson Oz trying to convince the world of his theory of the changes in animal behaviour. And it's not for the best. Laughed at and not taken seriously, Oz watches in horror as his predictions start to come to fruition, and the world's animal population runs out of control, all with one purpose...to kill the humans.As things escalate Oz and a small group of scientists try to figure
Let me preface this review by saying this was the first James Patterson novel I have read. Also, the book was co-authored by Michael Ledwidge. I chose to pick up this book because the storyline looked promising. That's the best thing I can say about this novel. What made this book such a lackluster read? There were many reasons: cheesy dialogue, simplistic sentences, superfluous crassness, needless references to modern celebrities and popular products (not to mention the details on the many
I picked this book up, not because I had even the smallest expectation of enjoying it, but because I kept seeing copies of it at the airport when I was on my way to the annual Association of Zoos and Aquariums conference, and I was curious. I was shy a book to read on the plane, and the first 24 or so chapters were free on my Kindle. (This isn't quite as impressive as it sounds, given that the chapters run about 1,000 words each.) Plus, I reasoned, even if it was awful, it'd be interesting to
