🕊️ ➞ Synopsis:

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.



🕊️ ➞ My Thoughts:

Zoo was a lackluster read for me. The plot was two-dimensional with little character development. In this case, the TV show was much better than the novel. Honestly, I don’t have much to say besides the fact that I was disappointed.

Have you read Zoo? If so, leave a comment below! Did you feel the same as me while reading this book? Have you watched the TV show? If you did, what did you think of the differences between them? Can’t wait to read your thoughts!
