Review: Interesting ideas but the storytelling lacks

The Cageless Zoo by Thomas K Carpenter is based on some intriguing ideas, as well as some plot intrigue. While I liked the idea of the cageless zoo itself, the story's plot was derivative, reminding me of some popular adventure movies I've seen.  The characters were one-dimensional and the sub-plot never really developed.  I read another story by Carpenter, Sagan's Law, right after reading this one.  I'd love to read more of his stories and books if they exhibit the same quality as Sagan's Law.  But The Cageless Zoo definitely reads as though it were intended to be for the YA audience.
