In James Patterson's pulse-racing New York Times bestseller, violent animal attacks are destroying entire cities-and two unlikely heroes must save the world before it's too late. All over the world, brutal animal 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. 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. For 36 years, James Patterson has written unputdownable, pulse-racing novels-and Zoo is the thriller he was born to write. With wildly inventive imagination and white-knuckle suspense that rivals Stephen King at his very best, Zoo is an epic, non-stop thrill-ride from "one of the best of the best" (Time).
Reviews with the most likes.
After seeing the previews to the upcoming television show based on this book, I decided to read the book first. I'm glad I did. I really liked this book! I see that it has gotten quite a few bad reviews, but I whipped right through it. Something has happened to the environment that has made animals go crazy and start attacking humans. You never know, it could happen.
Animals get sick of humans and decide to take over the world. Sounded interesting, but Patterson and his co-author of the month didn't make it work. I never connected with the characters and towards the end of the book I found myself rooting for the animals to win.
I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 since it apparently kept me interested long enough to finish the book.
