I don't think I understood a lot of crow's monologues but the parts I did were insanely fun. "OTHER BIRDS WOULD HAVE" just tickled my brain. I've literally never read anything like this before!!
This is probably more enjoyable if you're familiar with Ted Hughes' Crow (I'm not).

I think this is one where my rating might grow over time as I think about it. I’d like to read it again.
I came across this when pulling books as a volunteer at the library and, no judgement, loved the cover. I like books where I’m slightly unsure of exactly what happened, but I feel like I understand the emotions and mood and this was that. Yes, that’s poetry, but I can’t usually read and enjoy poetry.

okay i loved both the concept and format. however i do feel like i need to read the poem (crow by ted hughes) to get full enjoyment out of this book. will be doing that

some perfectly acceptable 114 pages of prose!! fascinatingly written with that signature disjointed, heavy semantic max porter style, not so much emotionally stirring as vaguely interesting. the crow metaphor never quite landed for me, or landed too easily, which left me feeling expectantly into random corners of the story (story?) for more depth. this can't be the whole thing! it was. oh well. my fault, I suppose? I think they fucked it over with the title a bit, like we're stupid and should refer back to the cover for repeated clarification on the metaphor in the half an hour it takes to read it all. not bad!!!!!! will change nobody's life.
