Okay, but not great. It felt a bit repetitive and somewhat aimless. I didn't love the writing style, either. Too many similes, too frequently. Maybe it's because I'm aphantasic, but it would've been better with fewer descriptions.

I think this is objectively a great book, but I didn't love reading it. I did enjoy a lot of the writing style - ST's voice is hilarious and fresh and there are a lot of clever lines and laugh-out-loud phrasings. The initial mystery of what's going on is also intriguing. However, I'm not a big fan of zombie stories, and especially what happens to the humans near the end I found very unpleasant. I also don't love the way Dennis' death happened - it felt so stupid!! That might be the point but it just didn't land for me. Plot points aside, I also often got bored with the long, meandering descriptive paragraphs with very florid prose. So while I think this was objectively a pretty good book, it really wasn't for me.

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!
