 Oz Jackson is an outcast amongst his Biologist and Ecologist peers who think he is a crack pot for proposing a theory that animal behaviour is changing. But when animals start attacking humans across the globe his radical theory doesn’t sound so crazy anymore... As a young adult James Patterson introduced me to the thriller genre with his fast paced, easy to read stories. Zoo is no exception. The action takes precedent over the characters who are reasonably one dimensional, but that’s ok because really they are just a device to take you on an adrenaline fuelled romp across the globe. The shocking animal behaviour including a brutal chimp attack and an unusual lion attack are the main thrust of the book.
This is a alone story and rather a departure from Patterson’s usual Detective based genre and steps more into the realms of Micheal Crichton apocalyptic territory but with a somewhat more simplified storyline. I’ve read some of his other books written with Michael Ledwidge and this has the same consistent pace and soeed making them good writing partners. The reasoning for the sudden animal meltdown is rather tenuous and it’s rather a stretch to think the experts wouldn’t have made some of the connections sooner. Not that it stopped me from enjoying this book. Take it for what it is, a bit of heart racing fun and enjoy. Linking up to #readwithme

This sounds like a good read! I’m rubbish when it comes to thrillers... somehow they seem so much more jumpy than watching something on screen. But I can think of a few people who would love this. 18/10/2018 07:14:14 pm
This sounds a really interesting read. You can't really go wrong with James Patterson!

This spiritual caster known as Lord Krish is really great in helping you get your ex back and making your infertility cured. I am happy to be one of the people to publish about him on the internet as a trusted and reliable spell caster. I am Lorraine Davis from Michigan, USA. Problems began to happen in my marriage after the 4th year of marriage and my husband began to cheat and sleep with other women because I was infertile and was not able to bear him a child. I contacted Lord Krish after reading comments on google and YouTube about how he has been helping people and contacted his email: [email protected] to communicate with him and we spoke on Whats-App too. It's been more than a year now and I am happy to write about my encounter with him. Within 2 days of contact, my husband came home and apologized to me for his behavior and pleaded with me to forgive him. Before I knew it, I received the natural fertility herbal cure from the UPS which he sent to me and I became fertile. I conceived and gave birth to twin girls which made me very happy. As a result, my husband throughout my trimester periods, loved me even more. How grateful I am to be happy in my relationship. Contact Lord Krish through email at [email protected] if you are passing through any problem to help you and you will be glad you did Leave a Reply. |
