Review of Zoo by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge
How this got published is beyond me. How Mr. Patterson allowed his name
to share any space with this circus is boggling. I picked it up and
forced myself to finish, because the concept was unique. Sadly it read too
much like a script and was far too expositional. A lot of telling rather
than showing. The novel transitions sporadically, bouncing from place
to place, from POV to POV, in each chapter, and the most laziest bit of
all: jumping several years mid-story. Overall, this was the slowest
zombie-zoo apocalypse with spotty scientific reasoning. So much
squandered potential. Skip it.
