REVIEW: Cryptid Zoo

Cryptid Zoo
Author: Gerry Griffiths

Carter Wilde has built the ultimate adventure theme park. Just imagine a huge dome housing a top-notch bioengineering lab, animatronics workshop, huge viewing areas, a 5-star hotel and every imaginable spa amenity for guests....then add in cryptid creatures of all sorts. Cryptid Zoo has four sections...sea monster cove, a reptile house, mammoth arena and biped habitat, housing some of the most legendary, and dangerous, creatures ever imagined. Some were caught in the wild....others were bioengineered. It's like Disney World....with real monsters.

What could possibly go wrong?

Move over Jurassic Park......it's time for the Cryptid Zoo.

I absolutely love this book! I'm a sucker for monster action stories....and this had every sort of cryptid from the chupacabra to a humongous kraken. Interesting story....lots of action.....and lots of monsters! I could see this easily being adapted into a sci-fi channel monster movie. I would watch it!! Bring on the popcorn! :)

Cryptid Zoo puts a new angle on the theme of poorly thought out dangerous parks. I loved Jurassic Park....but throwing cryptids into the mix is a nice new angle on an old story line.

This is the first book by Gerry Griffiths I've read. I'm definitely going to read more. He has written several other monster stories including The Beasts of Stoneclad Mountain and Silurid. Can't wait to see what other monstrous mayhem his books have in store!
