Zoo

Well that's my Z for the A-Z Challenge AND my 80th book which takes me to the completion of my 2016 reading challenge.

Zoo was an engaging, interesting, and fun read. It wasn't a literary masterpiece or anything like that but it held my attention and I enjoyed the read. Perfect for what I was looking for at the time. There were some good action sequences, too. The POV switched from Oz's first person to everyone else covered in a third person omniscient. The POV of the animals was one of my favorite things about the book.

Also, damn us humans!

Let's see . . . a guy quits grad school to rail about a phenomenon that only he, in the entire world, has figured out. He's figured out that animals are becoming increasingly hostile towards humans, but yet he keeps a chimpanzee in his apartment -- a species known to attack and kill humans. And he alone figures out the cause of all the violence in a flash of inspiration, after a decade of no progress on the cause. The whole world suddenly listens to him and marches to his proposed solution to what his theory is for the problem. The whole thing is so wildly contrived and nonsensical. But yet I finished it, so I guess I wanted to know how it ended.
