The good news is that The Great Zoo of China is no exception to this rule. I've come to expect twisty-turny plots that rattle along at a breakneck pace and that I'll be so caught up that I'll be frightened to even blink. When it comes to thrillers from Matthew Reilly, phrases like 'high octane' and 'intense action' don't even come close to adequately convey how much insanity he manages to cram into every novel. The action is overwhelming, making the reader feel giddy as the pages fly. The science and the setting of "The Great Zoo of China" make the scenario completely believable. It's fun, it's tense, action-packed and rewarding with a subtle humour that offsets all the action and bloodletting.
I enjoyed The Great Zoo of China from start to finish and found it difficult to put down.
