"I Saw a Tiger," by Jack A. Warren Uncovers the True Story Behind Life on the Tiger King's Zoo

ALTUS, Okla. - EntSun -- Jack A. Warren, a member of the camera crew on Joe Exotic's live web show, announced today his upcoming book, "I Saw a Tiger", which recounts the inside story of the ill-fated show and its star. It offers a unique, behind-the-scenes look at the experience of living and working at the private zoo where Joe Exotic bred his tigers. Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, is the subject of the controversial Netflix series "Tiger King", which deals with Exotic's arrest and conviction of federal murder-for-hire charges.

"There's been a lot of interest in Joe Exotic and his story, but there's a lot more to it than what's been shown, despite all the media attention," explained Warren. "There are a lot of compelling, if troubled people in the story. They inhabit a chaotic and shady world in the zoo. Then, there are the animals themselves. My book opens up all these subjects to give the reader a unique, insider's perspective on the entire situation."

"I Saw a Tiger" features the character of Alex, the newest recruit for the infamous Tiger King. Alex soon finds out that life behind the scenes is not so easy. He's roped into rebuilding the egotistical zookeeper's live reality show, an experience that placed his life into turmoil. As he struggles to balance his work and personal life, Alex is faced with the task of maintaining the show, fulfilling the demands of his boss, and building relationships with the convicted felons that now surround him.
