This is probably one of the oddest books I have read so far this year. I saw it mentioned on my Unshelved library comic strip and was intrigued. The premise of this graphic novel is that on February 3, 1979, chickens gained intelligence. There were massive uprisings at some places with chickens running rampant and killing people (but considering how chickens are killed at a poultry plant do you blame them?) People reacted to the chickens talking by killing many of them. It took about 6 months for the world governments to give chickens equal rights to humans. That is till about 20 years later when the bird flu hit, and chickens were killed by the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
This was extremely well-written and well-drawn, if you've enjoyed the graphic novel Maus you would like this. If you haven't read Maus, you should!
