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.

Not the humans... So, now so the animals are wandering around figuring out how to survive without humans.. Freeing domestic animals trapped in abandoned houses by figuring out how to get through glass windows then hope to open doors and so on through all the adventures of survival in this new world with mutant animals and a reformation of bones and groups of birds, animals and a new kind of wild world

annaplatypus's review against another edition

Not my sense of humor. I felt like the pacing of the book was way thrown off by inappropriately timed jokes and asides, plus a generally repetitive writing style. The whiplash between dumb potty jokes and overwrought emotional ponderings was sometimes jarring or genuinely upsetting.

re: sexual assault, there's basically a scene of implied

dog gang rape, which the main character actually compares to porn. Lovely.
