Review Jurassic Park with dragons instead of dinosaurs... so compellingly written that you get caught up in the furiously dramatic story... THE GREAT ZOO OF CHINA is a blockbuster of a book that tears along at a shrieking pace. SCI-FI NOW I enjoyed The Great Zoo of China from start to finish and found it difficult to put down. It's fun, it's tense, action-packed and rewarding with a subtle humour that offsets all the action and bloodletting. A Hollywood Blockbuster in Book form. SFBOOK.COM The science and the setting of "The Great Zoo of China" make the scenario completely believable. The action is overwhelming, making the reader feel giddy as the pages fly. You will believe that dragons are real. WASHINGTON POST 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. 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. The good news is that The Great Zoo of China is no exception to this rule. THEELOQUENTPAGE A very exciting book... I loved every page of The Great Zoo of China. It's undemanding, great fun to read, thrilling, exciting, gory and did I say thrilling? FORWINTERNIGHTS Brace yourself for non-stop action... Fast furious, this is a must read for fans of Matthew Reilly and the action genre. YORKSHIRE EVENING POST 'If you liked Jurassic Park prepared to be totally blown away by this action-packed blockbuster.' PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH

By albion I received this books as an ARC from Galley books.I own several books by Matthew Reilly but they are still on my "to-read" list so this book was actually the first one for me. Being a fan of Steve Alten and Michael Crichton I was drawn to the synopsis of fantastic, extinct creatures brought back to life. Naturally you knew something was going to go wrong.The parallels to Jurassic Park were obvious and in fact the writer makes mention of that in the book when one of the characters mentions how well this sort of thing worked out for Jurassic Park. Turns out he was right on the nose.This book is incredibly fast-paced with a barely a moment to take a breath before the next disaster or epic battle takes place. It was in no way a relaxing read as I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I almost literally could not put it down, to the point that I considered calling into work just to stay home and read it.The humans are treated with barely restrained contempt in this novel and I like that. These humans are acting without any humanity, breeding, caging, training with pain, messing with forces beyond their comprehension and simply murdering anyone or anything who gets in the way. The whole idea of the zoo, minus the awe-inspiring nature of the inhabitants, is one that is portrayed as over commercialized, tawdry, dirty and just downright unethical. The idea that humans could "train" these kinds of ancient mythical creatures is absurd and every description of this high tech uber-secret facility is described with this undertone. You get the sense that no one who really knows their stuff is fooled by the shiny exterior of the zoo's operations.This book isn't light-hearted nor is it for the faint of heart. There is plenty of gore, violence and outrage to be had, served on a buffet of vivid descriptions and action-packed sequences that really test the limits of your imagination.All in all I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with this read and I absolutely loved the book. Matthew Reilly just moved to the top of my "to read" pile.

You can get that from the book's Product Page.Unlike "Jurassic Park", there's no effort made whatsoever to actually establish any suspense, background, a plot, or three-dimensionality to the characters. A bunch of people are dropped into a setting -- in this case a theme park in China at which the main attraction is a bunch of actual living dragons -- and in literally just a few pages the dragons go on a rampage and everyone's running for their lives, fighting dragons, dangling from cliffs, fighting monster crocodiles, etcetera etcetera ad nauseum.If we're going to compare this book to "Jurassic Park" -- as the publishers do on the book jacket, as well as many of the other reviewers -- then let's actually do it.What made "Jurassic Park" such an entertaining book (and movie) was the mounting sense of doom and dread, culminating in a life-or-death confrontation with the dinosaurs. Chrichton took his time in establishing the sense of wonder at the science and setting, and firmly established his characters so we felt we knew (and sympathized with) them.There's absolutely none of that in this book. It's like a cartoon. As I said, we have a bunch of two-dimensional characters dropped into a locale like lumps of coal in a bin, and immediately they're off fighting dragons. It's as if Chrichton were to start "Jurassic Park" at a point thee-quarters of the way through, and try to stretch what little story remains into a full-length book.To sum it up in one word: boring.

The Great and very Dangerous Zoo of China By plane The Chinese Government is always anxious to come first with an original idea to lord it over the U.S. Mr Reilly sets up a very unique scenario that depicts a wonder the Chinese have labored over for 40 years. It is an immense, highly original zoo featuring creatures that trace their origin back through time and are depicted in the legends of many peoples throughout the world. In an afterward Matthew Reilly indicates that he was fascinated by Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. There is a similarity to that book, but we are not dealing with dinosaurs by any means. The Great Zoo is quite original and the rapid fire action that it is replete with is peculiar to this book. A group of VIPs and Journalists from the U.S. are invited to tour the Zoo in order to set up publicity to attract tourists. Among the group is Dr Cassandra Jane "C.J" Cameron and her younger brother. C.J. is a writer for National Geographic as well as an expert on reptiles. The visitors are assured that they will be struck with wonder at the collection housed by the zoo and brought in to see it with a lavish care and luxurious accommodations befitting the group of VIPs. Safety measures are described as the latest technology available to control a population that is free to roam loose in the huge area available to them. Things, of course, run out of control during the VIP visit with mayhem and violence let loose on the staff of the Zoo, as well as the VIP visitors. In these descriptions Matthew Reilly proves to be a master of setting up a plot that is filled with constant and violent action. The reader is pulled along from one crisis to another. And the admonition that the book can't be put down is as true as can be. The center of the action is C.J. who goes from place to place and scene to scene coming up with instant answers to the problems arising for the group trying to escape the dangers of the zoo. The ending comes with a sigh of relief for a reader caught up in the action. The book is well written, original in it's depictions and the plot brings us into an ending which is logical and satisfying. A sequel could be developed, but the current book is a great stand alone as is.
