As a child, rare and unusual animals, especially cryptid creatures, always fascinated Carter Wilde.

Now that he’s an eccentric billionaire and runs the largest conglomerate of high-tech companies all over the world, he can finally achieve his wildest dream of building the most incredible theme park ever conceived on the planet...Cryptid Zoo.

Even though there have been apparent problems with the project, Wilde still decides to send some of his marketing employees and their families on a forced vacation to assess the theme park in preparation for Opening Day.

Nick Wells and his family are some of those chosen and are about to embark on what will become the most terror-filled weekend of their lives - praying they survive.

Step right up and get your free pass...to Cryptid Zoo.

It was a pretty decent book to listen to. A quick read, with an anti climactic ending, but it wasn’t too bad. The descriptions were fun and many I could tell right off be bat from their first description.

Pretty decent!

Great listen! At first I just expected Jurassic park but with cryptids 🤷🏻‍♂️ but this is a great story and I will definitely listen again at some point!

Loved it!

Not to bad, but what was that GLOP of words strung together for an ending ? Why write the book just to lead to a glop?

More like crippled zoo, where is Mighty Mouse .!

they open the entire door and send a man out there to feed these blood thirsty creatures. literally opening an entire door and hoping the animals aren't near the entrance and some dude takes a bowl of food and dumps it out after entering the enclosure. this was so stupid that it took me out the story, like dude, you can't have a slot or anything more intelligent than having someone open a massive door and then hoping they jump back in and close it in time? my god that was such dumb convenient writing that will obviously result in a breakout.

the method of feeding

So Fun

it's obviously a Jurassic Park rip off so my bar was pretty low to begin with but it's not even entertaining. Unless you're really bored find something else. On the upside the narration is good.

Not incredibad, just bad

In 2019 during a transatlantic flight, I read this book that had been left in the chair pocket. The creatures were interesting and there was some decent character development. When we saw this book on audible my 14 and 15-year-olds were excited to listen to it.

We are sci-fi/creature buffs and always on the watch for the next great listen, and there have been many on audible that were written and narrated by the best of the best. But we weren't expecting this book to be great, just a good, well-done story about cryptids. And the brief narration sample was not long enough to warn us before buying it.

This audible book is NOT the same as the written version, leaving out several of the most important parts that would have let the reader experience more of the decency/humanity of those capturing and caring for the creatures - and also allow the listener to experience the more nuanced and deeper feelings and perceptions - and behaviors of the cryptids - - all left out.

This book is definitely a return and delete, but served to teach us to never choose anything narrated by Reimer, who murdered the English language while creating the most insultingly absurd 'nails on blackboard' voices that degraded the identity, let alone the credibility of the characters.

The adults - and my kids and their friends - actually needed to stop the book "to take breaks from the narrator." Reimer's voices made us literally cringe, but the kids wanted to know how it ended, which was another big disappointment because details that were in the book were not in the narration.

Reimer kept switching many of the characters' voices, clearly forgetting which ridiculous voice was whose, and clearly didn't even bother to look up the pronunciation of Bili ape - and many other words most elementary kids would know.

Mr. Griffiths allowed what most other authors would never allow, and that is to allow an inept narrator to undermine the value of his work....

I wanted to like this book but it was just not good. I did like all the Cryptids but the plot and characters were so poorly written that it ruined the very few good elements.

Cringey...

The story is ok. I finished it tolerating the poor quality of the reader's performance.

good enough
