America is A Zoo is a sharp satirical literary fiction mirroring the debauchery of United States. In short, under a secret operation, a special chemical turn the govt officials into animals. It personified each person with different animal and lead the country into progressive change. The politicians, combined with their beastly desires, delivered their sins one by one.
As the page turned, we've got to see the background and significant figure behind the operation. This book tackled the bad stereotypes and terrorism narratives placed upon Muslim and Black people.
Personally, I wouldn't say this book is a light read. It's that kind of food for thought and I think I need someone to discuss the content. Definitely not English beginning friendly. It will be much more compelling if you're following US political dynamics. I don't, but I get the whole message it tried to send through (I felt like it mirrored my own gov system lol)
The science was too good to be true, and sometimes I lost in the process of who's who.
Bottom line, I know that this is a well researched book. Still enjoyable despite the heavy theme.
The message was strong and well delivered.
What I don't really get is the self-insertion the author did . It didn't vibe well😅
If you like book about politic, secret operation agents, satirical work, give this book a go!!!!
