I love the premise and the fact that it’s set in Seattle and the surrounding area. I love that it’s an apocalyptic story told from the perspective of animals. The writing style didn’t speak to me; the voice felt forced and felt like it was trying too hard. Some of the storytelling was too on the nose, and it felt drawn out and repetitive (we went here and found it was destroyed and full of zombies, then we went there and found it was destroyed and full of zombies, then we went a third place and…) The majority of characters were male.

annaplatypus's review against another edition
Not my sense of humor. I felt like the pacing of the book was way thrown off by inappropriately timed jokes and asides, plus a generally repetitive writing style. The whiplash between dumb potty jokes and overwrought emotional ponderings was sometimes jarring or genuinely upsetting.
