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!

isacro's review against another edition

It wasn’t well written. The plot was slow and laborious without any reward. But the last straw for me was the gratuitous animal deaths.
