30 day book challenge – #3 Book that makes you laugh out loud

It may not have many words but it is definitely a book. It has pages and everything.

#3

‘The Bumper Book of Bunny Suicides’ by Andy Riley contains every bunny suicide ever. The sketches in this book are so witty, you just can’t help but laugh like a child when you see them, even if you are also child-like in your innocent love of fluffy bunnies. There is just something about the look on these bunny’s faces, you know that they are in a happier place once they’ve done the deed, so it’s alright to laugh, really.

I think practically all the sketches made me laugh out loud, but as a female, I do also involuntarily say ‘Awwww’ afterwards. It is sad, but the bunnies clearly want to die, and in very inventive ways. They have a very determined look about them. One of my favourites is a sketch of a very frazzled, unhappy woman with a photo ripped in two and a box of tissues on the floor. She is sitting in an armchair. Next to her is the TV and video player, with a bunny putting in the movie ‘Fatal Attraction’.

The cover design will perfectly appeal to the inner-child in you, a fun font, a shiny, silvery colour, and the fact it is the ‘bumper’ book of bunny suicides.It’s a shame the cover cartoon isn’t one of the more inventive bunnys, but it will without a doubt make you want to flick through the pages to be sure you know exactly what this book is all about, and yes, it is nothing but bunnies topping themselves.
