Gripping from start to finish.
I absolutely loved The Great Zoo of China. Matthew Reilly’s descriptions are vivid and out of this world! I was gripped throughout and absolutely love the lead character Dr CJ Cameron. The narration of this book was really enjoyable.

Always love Matthew Reilly – this is no exception
What did you like about this audiobook?
I have loved all of Matthew Reilly’s books and this is no exception. Started off very well… especially for me as I have visited that part of China that he describes so well. He also has a very good understanding of the modern day Chinese aims and goals – and why their current culture impedes their aims to be Number 1 in the world in all things!. I saw all of that for myself.
I was almost half way through the book when I found myself second guessing (correctly) the author!! I have NEVER been able to second guess him before and I was a bit disappointed. But then I realised that the first half of the book is more concerned with the setup and the second half is definitely the old Matthew Reilly – very edge of your seat action – no way you will second guess any of that 🙂 At one point I thought to myself “ohh out of the frying pan into the fire…” and the narrator echoed my words almost immediately.
I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.. 4 seems a bit mean 🙂
Thanks Matthew – keep on writing!!! (less)
