'The Zoo intrigued me from the very first page. Jamie Mollart's debut novel is a grippingly dark and ultimately moving story about exploitation, destruction and the possibility of redemption.' -- Alison Moore 'This was a book I read quickly and avidly.' * New Books Magazine * 'The Zoo is dark and relentless in its bleak portrayal of modern day consumerism and the effects we all ignore.' * We Love This Book * 'The journey may be somewhat exhausting, but it feels worthwhile, and we don't lose hope that there will be a happy ending to this human and psychological thriller.' * Book Oxygen * 'One of those rare books that you have to read a second time the moment you reach the end - no small feat for a debut novel. This could well be the next Bret Easton Ellis.' * Staff recommendation, Waterstones Leicester *
