Great book! I absolutely loved the primal instincts of the victims to survive, juxtaposed with the environment of the zoo, where the instincts of all the animals are basically restricted. I liked being inside the mother’s head and understanding the adrenaline and worry that would accompany the desire to safe keep her child. I also couldn’t help but get mad at myself for allowing the author to manipulate me by offering different perspectives towards the end. As a reader you can assume one person to be the villain, but then of course as humans you want to rationalize all kinds of behaviour, which then leaves you wondering, who really is the villain in this story? As a result, I think the ending was very disappointing. And it was also a weird surprise to have additional perspectives with only 100 pages left in the book.
