Death Of An Animal
- This is a book about a domesticated crow, named s••• turd, as he navigates life after the end of mankind. I loved his narration, his perspective, how he related to humans, how he saw himself. Great, great character. <br><br>Some cons! I have lived in Seattle all my life and I felt the local references got a bit much. And then the last fourth of the book maybe should have been 30 pages instead of 100. Other than that, it’s a good time.
- I did not enjoy this book. It wasn't what I expected.
