Great Look into Prison Life

Revisado: 10-07-24

The author does a wonderful job of showing the realities of prison life while simultaneously keeping the book as lighthearted as possible.

A week in the life of Auri. Not much history about her. Methodical. Unusual.

Rich story. Great characters, many complex names to remember and lots of death. Definitely worth the listen!

Not only was the story interesting, concise, & well-written, but the narration was perfect. Victor Bevine is a great narrator & listening to his German? Colour me impressed!

a great ending for a wonderful series

Revisado: 04-05-18

Drizzt has accompanied me through the years through thick & thin. This was an intense book & I am grateful for the ending; Drizzt deserves the best! (And obviously Victor Bevine was marvelous as always.)

Impossible to stop listening to! As with all Drummond series novels, this one had is twists & turns, but Haig has outdone himself this time!

Wanted to hear more about the war

Revisado: 12-10-15

It was a moving story of brave women determined do what has never been done before. The war portion of the story didn't take up much of the book though. I would have enjoyed hearing more stories from the women stationed oversees, but the book seemed to focus on the women through the acceptance & training program.

Absurd Plot and Predicable Story

Revisado: 11-24-15

Would you ever listen to anything by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge again?

NO.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Zoo?

The scenes where they gun down and drive over domesticated dogs. That seemed like overkill.

Any additional comments?

First of all, there are 98 chapters for an 8 hour book. That is ridiculous and unnecessary. The book was very predictable and boring. It wasn't well written; a book for the masses.

I wasn't terribly fond of the cocky, doomsaying main character either (who keeps a chimp in his apartment when he is preaching about the dangers of increasing animal aggression/killings?). He is the hero who saves a damsel in distress. The book plays into gendered stereotypes; the suave, brave man saves the helpless, sexy french woman who is completely dependent & has a panic attacks when he is away from her.

The premise of the book and the subsequent solution are absurd and totally nonsensical. It's funny that the science of this book could be so wrong despite all the main characters being scientists. I can suspend my disbelief to an extent, but the solution was instantly effective where in reality it would probably take years before any slight difference would have occurred, especially since it took so many years for the problem to develop. Animals aren't light switches.
