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).

"3.5 stars - It was a really good story and went by very quickly. It was also extremely frustrating to see how humanity is basically the downfall of itself because it doesn't seem all that far fetched that it could be. Towards the end it did feel like things were being rushed which feels off since there is another book."

"Kinda starting over in historical fiction but Odd Thomas was a good thriller as well "

"This book was very gorey so if you have a weak stomach just keep that in mind. For some reason I have been binge reading killer animal books and this one was perfect! Just the right amount of science and cheesy."

"For anyone in the science field, especially those with particular interests in animals and conservation, this is a very interesting and eye opening book! It’s a great book either way!"

"This book is absolutely terrifying. But I loved it! If you have a pet of any kind of sure you will be looking at it sideways. "

"Despite the time taken, this is a quick read. Disposable. The TV series put more meat on the bone. I haven’t read much Patterson except a couple of Cross novels which I enjoyed. I’m unimpressed but I’ll give him some more opportunities. The “science” behind this one was out there but more plausible than the one used in the TV show which was gimmicky in how it was diagnosed. The main character, Oz, has no ongoing ‘buddy’ in the book beside his lover/wife. The TV series did better by introducing more characters and by not killing off his African friend in the early stages of the book. <br/><br/>Summary: Fans of the TV show will be disappointed. Otherwise it is a summer read you can finish and leave at that beachside house you’re renting which is exactly what I will be doing!!!"
