A summary: The representation of a questionably stable yet conclusively worrying psyche.
I rarely read graphic novels, but when I saw this, I immediately yelped out "I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE." I knew that I was going to enjoy this darkly humourous book and I was not wrong. The book was capital 'h' hilarious.
I found myself gleefully snickering at Riley's innocently morbid illustrations. From "Leave me out of Noah's ark" to "Let's blow up the leaning tower of Pisa," Riley has compiled an ingenious, maddening and disturbing book of bunny suicides(well HELLO THERE, Title Reference!).
THE VERDICT: Don't try this at home.

As you might deduce from the title, this is a book about dead bunnies. It's macabre and hilarious.

C'est bizarre car je ne suis pas facilement impressionnée ou mal à l'aise mais là, j'avoue que cette lecture m'a laissé une impression bizarre. Le seul dessin que j'ai vraiment aimé et qui m'a fait rire par son inventivité, c'est le lapin qui va faire regarder le film Liaison fatale à une femme particulièrement contrariée !

It's like Garfield minus Garfield minus Jon plus bunnies plus suicide. Rumored to be on the coffee tables of depressed literary luminaries in their last days before dying and banned from animal rescue shelters across the United States; read at your own risk. If you laugh while reading this book, you're a bad person.

Too disturbing for my nearly fully developed brain to enjoy. What is the point of this? Honestly I am appalled by most of the drawings. Sure, there are a few funny drawings, but most of them are not humorous at all. People will enjoy what they enjoy and the variety of humor is wonderful, but I am having a difficult time imaging (and hearing, understanding) what is to enjoy about this concept and execution.
