Liked It “LOVED IT! A uniquely told story of the myth of Noah's Ark from the perspective of a crow. For the more literary reader it reads like an extended poem. Fascinating tidbits about crows as a bonus!” see full review » see other reviews » |

Most of the book is written from the crow's point of view and until the flood this is done fairly well. As for the interaction with Noah it is vague and grating and eventually ends up with the crow narrator talking and thinking like a man. If you're a crow fan you might enjoy this book just by skipping the whole ark bit and reading only the crow parts. Otherwise, I'd just give it a miss unless you're a variant Genesis fan.”
