ZOO by James
Patterson and Michael Ledwidge
If you shivered through THE BIRDS, you will have a panic
attack reading ZOO. The premise of this one plot book is simple – the animals
wake up one morning and realize they hate humans thanks to the manipulation of
our environment by scientists and the inaction of Congress.
The one person who sees the scope of the problem of seemingly
unrelated animal attacks is the one fully formed character. Attila the chimp is
also fairly nuanced. Everything else is pretty one note. This is a quick, albeit terrifying, read.
Patterson has written better books. It will be interesting to
see what the TV mini-series soon to come to our small screens will do to flesh
out the skimpy plot/story.
3 of 5 stars
