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!

I loved this book, but I know that most of my good reads friends won’t get past the first pages (or maybe even the back cover). Loved the crow, animals, Seattle and the adventure eagle .

I loved this book. Really funny, a great idea for a story and fairly unhinged at times!
Some of it is quite sad and upsetting and for those who can't deal with animal death this isn't the book for you.
Otherwise I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

Fresh premise, cute idea 
Ultimately wasn't really for me. Read pretty young. Kinda edgy in that teenage way. Tbh I should have anticipated that - it's about a zombie apocalypse from the eyes of a domesticated crow.
