5.0 out of 5 stars On the Road to Oblivion... one more time, April 12, 2005

I loved "Return of the Bunny Suicides". If you liked the first book, "The Book of Bunny Suicides," you will most likely enjoy the sequel. The bunnies find even more creative ways to end their lives. It is funny and amusing, if you don't mind seeing cartoon bunnies execute both simple and complex plans to end their lives. Although the reader does not know why the bunnies are so willing to die, (s)he can certainly appreciate the bunnies' formulated deaths. The drawings are relatively simple, not too gory (yes, some decapitated heads but nothing graphic), and allows the reader to anticipate what happens instead of always giving the end picture.

Obviously this book isn't for everyone. But if you think you can appreciate the humor in suicidal cartoon bunnies, it's certainly worth flipping through.

By the way, I love bunnies and am against animal cruelty, but have enough of a sense of humor to laugh at silly things such as this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as good as it's Big Brother..., February 11, 2005

This review is from: Return of the Bunny Suicides (Paperback)

Worth a look nonetheless, for it is the genre of these books which is so amusing and intelligent. I get so tired of this notion that by acknowledging the purile, wicked and taboo we somehow become all of those things ourselves and worse still, evil. These books encourage us to see the natural and lighter side of wicked and intrusive humour. Far healthier to do so than claim not have such thought or feeling because it's inhuman, it is very much so human! What better way to develop greater understanding of your own mind than through humour?
Incidently, to any detractors of this theory, no actual little fluffy bunnies were hurt in the making of these books!

I love the Bunny Suicide books! Mr. Riley makes them so funny, and we should all be ashamed for enjoying them so much. I enjoy the way he works in current pop culture and events to some of the suicides, making them that much more hysterical.

My favorite in this one has to be the bunny who ate all the beans! A laugh riot.
