Review
Dawn of the Bunny Suicides is one of those books that you will either love or absolutely hate, depending upon your sense of humour. I loved it. When I was a teenager I remember a similar series of humours books like Riley’s about cats.
Riley has got some pretty impressive scriptwriting to his name with Black Books, Little Britain and Armstrong and Miller. Given that, you would be able to work out what sort of humour this guy has. Some of the more memorabile cartoons where the ones that depicted bunnies in famous movie scenes, plotting their own demise. An example of this is a bunny sitting on the oxygen tank that Jaws has in its mouth just as Chief Brodie is about to shoot it, or a line of bunnies waiting on the path Indiana Jones runs down at the start of the first movie when the boulder is rolling after him.
I don’t know how Riley came up with the idea of bunnies wanting to kill themselves, but this book is hilarious.
