The title alone made me order this crazily brilliant debut and joint winner of the inaugural Terry Pratchett Prize. There are echoes of the movie Black Sheep and while there's nothing totally original about Apocalypse Cow, it's a fun ride nonetheless. The characters are all literary/film cliches but they are well written cliches that made me laugh with their sometimes absurd actions and thoughts. Logan holds nothing back, as there is plenty of gore,Apocalypse Cow has a somewhat creepy ending implying that while this could remain a standalone book, this strange world in which animals become zombie-esque could spawn a sequel.
