About this listen

For thirty-six years, James Patterson has written un-put-down-able, pulse-racing novels. Now, he has written a book that surpasses all of them. Zoo is the thriller he was born to write. 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. 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, non-stop thrill-ride.

Not too bad. It ended a little abruptly for me, but a nice easy listen with an interesting concept.

Nice easy listen

The profound image of an Orwellian dystopia where animals sit higher on the food chain than humans, seems mismatched to the action packed male 'hero' genre it has been paired with. I was fondly reminded of the theme tune of Team America.

It was alright, easy to follow and narrative was well done. Nothing too special. similar to Michael Chrichton but not as well done.

Allright

Wasn't too sure about this but wanted a new book for 1st October. This book is one of the best I have downloaded. Fast pace from start to finish, always felt like something was coming. I listened to it almost in one day. The narrator had the right tone and voice, one I will listen too over and over.

Brilliant

A enjoyable read with a relivant 'cause' for the effect. Most of the story leads to why things are changing. The gap in years between part 1 and 2 was a little bit of a let down as I expected much movement on the cause effect. I cannot disclose the completion of the story only that the cure was already there, so why the lead into an amaggendon surviviour senario.

Good listen but.......

Hmm. With typical short, pacy chapters, this is a typical Patterson in so many ways - cliffhangers, alternate voices, minimal development of female characters, impending sense of doom ... that it is hard to see what Ledwidge has added. Unless it is the topic - ultimately a condemnation of our throw away culture and the effects of our carbon footprint. This is not a murder story so much as an animal revenge story - a primal and instinctive uprising of animals against humans because of the pheremones released by carbon waste. Like I said: hmmm. It is quite enjoyable - and if I was reading it in hard copy it could be described as a page turner. In fact, I did sit in the car a few times to hear about the next species wreaking havoc on human communities. Nevertheless, it was also often silly and a bit gratuitous - and why oh why did the central protagonist own a chimpanzee and not twig that if the pheremones were affecting other wild animals, it would obviously affect the very ape he was about to leave in the care of a little old lady and his ex-girlfriend ... No wonder he didn't get his Phd! Overall? Enjoyable, but silly.
