출판사 설명
In this pulse-racing New York Times bestseller from the world's #1 bestselling author, violent animal attacks are destroying entire cities, and two unlikely heroes must save the world before it's too late.
All over the world, brutal animal 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, Zoo is an epic, non-stop thrill-ride from James Patterson.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lions, and tigers, and bears! Oh my! In this thriller from Patterson and Ledwidge, all members of the animal kingdom, from true predators to man's former best friends, decide that humans are what's for dinner. The book's follows narrator, Jackson Oz, an environmental biologist who has lost his reputation, his university position, and nearly all of his money trying to warn the world about just such a cataclysmic disaster. Reader Jay Snyder provides Oz with a touch of breezy optimism at least early on that takes the edge off the grim slashing and that occurs in the alternating third-person descriptions of man-beast encounters. Snyder also delivers a fair amount of suspense, as Oz embarks on a desperate search for the cause of and the antidote to the sudden worldwide wilding. And while the book's conclusion may strain credulity, Snyder's Oz presents his case so positively and persuasively that it's not until the final disc plays when all the dogs and cats and rats have returned to their natural states that anyone is likely to care. A Little, Brown hardcover.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I can't remember the last time I read a book and truly enjoyed it, but I devoured Zoo in three days. I would recommend this book to everyone, and I will most definitely be reading more of James Patterson's masterpieces.

Scary because it could so really happen to us.

Not one of his better books. Read as though it was written in a rush. I am a big fan of his and was really disappointed in the book. The story line started off good but then fell flat.
