There’s a lot of body horror in this book. Honestly, if I’d checked my CW’s, I wouldn’t have read it. BUT I’m glad I did. While the body horror was really bad for me at times, I’m glad I stuck it out.
The humor in this book is not really my sense of humor, but again, I’m glad I stuck it out. It’s really well written, funny, and touching.
I read this on audio book, and it’s very well narrated. All around, I would recommend this book (assuming you can deal with how grotesque it it at times, it really doesn’t pull any punches).

A fun , quick and creative concept for a book - a zombie apocalypse from the point of view of a crow. Parts of it get pretty gruesome - there is a lot of blood, dismembered body parts, descriptions of disturbing scenes. Also didn’t love some of the quirks of the writing style. Parts of it felt like it was trying a little too hard to be clever and/or heartfelt. But enjoyed reading this overall!

A charming and ultimately touching novel about the end of humanity and how a few of the animals who loved humans strive to save what's left of them.
ST, the crow who tells the story, was raised by a human and has trouble letting go of his old life when all the humans become zombies. Rather than hungering for brains, these zombies hunger for the internet. The book's social commentary is unsubtle, but not han-handed, and fits the overall irreverent tone of the story. My biggest critique would be that sometimes the book tries to walk the line between horror and humor, and isn't always fully successful, sometimes leaning too far one way or the other.
If you are sensitive to animal suffering or death, please read the trigger warnings before deciding whether or not to read!

Probably not the best idea to read this after recently losing a pet or loathing animal violence in any form…I took a lot of breaks and bawled my eyes out at a certain chapter…but overall a fabulous book! The characters’ voices were both touching and hilarious, the story was interesting, and the love shown to Seattle and all its creatures was heartwarming to see. I can’t wait to read the sequel!
