About this eBook

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).

Ratings and reviews

This was pretty Interesting in the beginning but as it went further along I started to lose Interest. Don't get me wrong the idea is interesting enough that makes you want to pick up the book and read it, but the quality of it doesn't quiet cut it. It had random parts where it would do a time skip but they don't tell you in the beginning. They just continue on like we should know that it's a time skip. And don't get me started on the ending.

I bought the paperback version of this book and just finished it yesterday. . Gotta say I wasn't too impressed. I liKed the concept of it and the fact that Patterson took a stab at sci-fi interested me. . But all in all it definitely wasn't one of his best works.. read if you're bored not if you want a good story. .

This great premise is WASTED on this book. The main character is dull, irritating and very dim for being a Rhodes scholar and scientist of sorts with ivy league education, and the writing is rushed and poorly edited. Makes me sad that something this low-quality still makes the bestseller list. Hopefully the show will be better.
