Publisher's summary

Once in a lifetime, a writer puts it all together. This is James Patterson's best work ever.

Total

For 36 years, James Patterson has written unstopable, pulse-racing novels. Now, he has written an audiobook 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. With wildly inventive imagination and white-knuckle suspense that rivals Stephen King at his very best, James Patterson's Zoo is an epic, nonstop thrill ride from "One of the best of the best" (Time).

Absolutely beautiful

This book is a masterpiece, the writing is spot on, the science is sounds completely grounded in reality, and the characters are more human than any character in a book I've read so far.

A Fun Quick Read

Had fun with this book, my first James Patterson book, I might try some other titles by him as this one was a little too politically driven for my taste. But an interesting and entertaining story none the less.

Disappointed

Started off great, good plot and well researched. The ending was terribly disappointing. Really?? Washington elite causing a resurgence of the animal savagery. Too bad. Wouldn't recommend to any friends

Good story but could be better.

The story was pretty good but it created more questions that weren't resolved for me. The wrap up was a little too simple.

A bit strange

Would you consider the audio edition of Zoo to be better than the print version?

Never read the print version - I like all audio books better, as I can do something else while enjoying a book (like driving)

What was most disappointing about James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge ’s story?

The freaking end!!!! Oh man, really????

What does Jay Snyder bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Some emotion that I might miss with just my brain!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, almost did it too!

Great start, weak ending

Very disappointed in the end. Seems like he just ran of time, ran out of ideas. I am still glad I listen to it just disappointed in the lack of an ending

good story sexiest character writing

the token females in this story were weak. Patterson approached them with clear disdain, making it hard to enjoy the book
