Review of Zoo by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge

Front Cover

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.
