I feel like the concept of this book and the writing itself was very interesting. And I love reading the different ways people interpret the ending and the meaning of the story. From the beginning it had me hooked and I really enjoyed it. I think the book was supposed to end and leave you guessing but I wish it would have wrapped it up a little bit better for me though.

dark funny mysterious

4.0

Bunny is a roaring, weird, and positively pretentious novel that I assume is about art and creation, but I'm not entirely sure. Despite how perplexing the novel's subject and rational are, I was continuously excited to return to it. Bunny's world is thick and gleaming with atmosphere and imagery, and its gorey humor and gutting tragedy were a treat to read. I look forward to the film adaption, and will seek out more of Awad's work.
