Broken Aesop is now YMMV.


* BrokenAesop: The book suggests that human activity is unbalancing nature and will ultimately result in nature correcting itself. However, the correction in question produces zombies that are still negatively affecting the balance of nature because they're attacking and eating the wildlife, [[spoiler:especially after they start mutating into forms capable of taking on apex predators and winning]].

Added DiffLines:

* BlackComedy: A zombified old woman devouring her own dog is rendered funny because the situation is initially presented as the lady eating Triscuits (a type of cracker) before mentioning that Triscuits is the name of her dog.

* FirstPersonSmartass: S.T. the crow's internal monologue is bursting with crass language and his opinions on everything he comes across, aided by his genral disdain for any form of life that isn't human. The snark gets dialed back a few notches after he finds himself in charge of rescuing domestic animals [[spoiler:and his broken wing necessitates him working with others to travel swiftly]].

** Many animals with their own chapters, such as a polar bear searching for her lost cub, only have small parts of their large stories shown.
** S.T. occasionally finds notes or graffiti left by people who avoided being infected and were trying to find loved ones or warn other people to [[spoiler:avoid technology]] or get to safer areas. A parrot acquaintance of S.T. also recalls people with farms in the countryside riding around on horseback in the final days of the outbreak, shouting offers of sanctuary. It doesn't appear that any of their efforts succeeded, as [[spoiler:the only confirmed human survivor is a baby several states away.]]
