I initially really enjoyed this book but it lost steam around the halfway point, where I felt like things got somewhat repetitive. Finishing it felt a bit of a chore, hence I bumped my rating down to two stars: I see the merits, but it's not for me.

This is a zombie apocalypse narrated by a crow who wants to be a human. It's a fun premise, and the narrator is wonderful. He's ridiculous and goes on adventures and meets plenty of other animals along the way. Other animals occasionally narrate a chapter, this is also fun. The problem for me was that that's essentially the whole book. The premise got a bit redundant for me, hence my slog in finishing it.

That said, I recommend it if you'd like a fresh take on the apocalypse from the perspective of animals, and especially pets, left behind.
