Final Reading Reaction

The book Zoo by James Patterson was probably one of the best books I have read in a while. The plot flows extremely well and it is easy to understand what is happening at all times.

The idea of the storyline is very creative and it puts animals into a new perspective that I would have never explored if I hadn’t…

The use…

I chose the book, Zoo by James Patterson. It looked like a really interesting and face paced book and that is part of the reason that I chose it. When reading the description of it, the idea of animals coming togther to fight against humanity just seemed very interesting and I think that it will help me think a lot more about animal behavior by reading this. So far the book has introduced two lions that are in a zoo…
