Don't waste your time. He can't get even small facts straight. The TV series was not much better

In this apocalyptic eco-thriller, mammals around the world have begun attacking humans, and nobody knows why. The main character was not very likable to me, but the writing was vivid, and the mystery was entertaining to unravel. I would be…

Very bad monkeys. And bad dogs. And bad foxes. And bad lions. And bad rhinos. And even bad dolphins! All over the world, our animal friends are going bad. Scientists ponder, politicians deceive, the military blows things up. A junk-food…

This was a really interesting read. The ending was a little disappointing, but better thought out than the mini series that was created on this.

I feel like the authors saw Sharknado and said, "Hold my beer." This book is relentless schlock. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the fun that you need to make schlock work—there's no joy amidst the weirdly pandery bits (The main character…

Not my favorite Patterson book, but it was totally different. Made you think. Animals going crazy all over the world, with deadly consequences, and there is found a solution but (SPOILER ALERT) no one wants to be inconvenienced to fix the…

By far one of my favorite James Patterson book. I like how he protruded how stupid us human beings really are.

My first James Patterson book was disappointing. The chapters were choppy, the characters under-developed, the plot was farfetched, and the voice on this audio cd for the character Chloe really got on my nerves. There were many 2 page…

Interesting premise and a good, fast read but without spoiling things, let me say that some of the book, especially ending, is a disappointment. I thought the characters, especially the scientists and technology parts, were especially…

while fiction we really have no idea what effects we are having on the environment.

I joke with my husband about Patterson having his own section at airport bookstores, and here I went and read one of them:) It was a quick read and sort of fun, but quite a bit of carnage. OK--obviously plot-driven when animals all over…

Popular fiction gone wrong. Good story idea, bad story telling. Too many plot holes and obvious oversights. Good summer read, if you want light fiction. TV show is better.

I tried it because I liked the premise. It was the first James Patterson (really Michael Ledwidge) I have tried. I won't be trying another. While the premise is good, the writing is not. The characterizations are two dimensional and…

His writing ruined the story for me by about the second page. Persevered to the second chapter, then couldn't tolerate it any more. The "sheer bigness" of the lion?? I wasn't expecting Tartt, but I just can't overlook poor writing to…

It was a good read, very entertaining and easy to follow. It was lacking something I guess the ending them being in Greenland (there are polar bears there you know)! So, not quite happy with that ending, but nevertheless, it was overall…

The book is very entertaining but I feel the same way with some of the other comments that say it came to a conclusion too fast. Don't want to spoil the book but the conclusion is solved very poorly - a good read overall

I read this book because of the hype of upcomming tv series. It was a quick read, interesting, and kept me entertained. The only thing I didn't like was how quickly the book wrapped up and found out what was causing the animals to go…

Definitely not your typical James Patterson book but was pretty good.

Personally I am really looking forward to this book, given the fact that it's actually made into a TV series, and all the stuff saying it's the best book James Patterson ever wrote. But after seeing these negative comments on the book I am…

The premise is interesting but I was really disappointed in the writing. At best, one could call it workmanlike or plodding. I read this book because of all the publicity about the upcoming TV series. Based upon what I read, I will…

Very quick read. I do not understand all of the criticism on this book. Sure it is a little choppy in how quick it is resolved but a great summer escapism read. I hope the mini series does a great job translating this to the small…

Horrible, horrible, horrible. I'm a James Patterson reader and this was not worth the trip to the library. Couldn't force myself to finish it, and I really tried.

A mediocre book by a very prolific but mediocre author. I picked this up after seeing a commercial on the tube for the miniseries. Hope that is better. Where is Michael Crichton when you need him? But, of course, Crichton has already…

I thought this was a terrible book. I usually like Patterson's stuff. Even some of his fantasy stuff is mildly entertaining, but I found this to be choppy, poorly told, and somewhat preachy with an extremely unsatisfying conclusion. I…

Of the 50 or more Patterson novels that I've read, this one ranks lowest on my scale. Except for the short chapters, it didn't read at all like the Patterson I've enjoyed so much.
