This book has a lot going on, which sometimes hindered my enjoyment of it. S.T. is such a fun character to follow, but his voice can get a bit exhausting when there is a quip or joke literally every line. Up until the end I felt the plot kept moving at a steady pace but then it got a little bloated. I laughed, I cried (yes really), and fell in love with this crow and his dog. A unique take and perspective on the zombie apocalypse with an very cool origin for the disease that ravages humanity. There's so much heart in this and at its core is such a strong book, but I think the humor and the overstuffing of events towards the end (as well as the ending itself) took away a star from being a favorite for me.
