The Book of Bunny Suicides
by
Andy Riley
Rabbits. We'll never quite know why, but sometimes they decide they've just had enough of this world- and that's when they start getting inventive. The Book of Bunny Suicides follows over one hundred bunnies as they find ever more outlandish ways to do themselves in. From an encounter with the business end of Darth Vader's lightsaber, to supergluing themselves to a diving ...more

i have to meet this man so that i can ask him when the
image of fluffy little bunnies doing themselves
in came to his mind. Oh yeah, and what was he
doing at the time. In church? Changing his
oil? Filling out a tax form?
Then the next thing I'd want to know is whether
it was difficult to come up with all these
mostrous ways to say goodbye. I mean-did the bunny
in the lobster tank with the scuba gear just come
to him?

Beneran deh ni kelinci...setress berat karena beban hidup makin tinggi apa begimana. Seperti apa kata Buzenk....bunuh diri dengan cara lompat dari Mall, dari papan iklan, minum racun, sungguh tidak kreatif.
Beneran bikin ngakak sendiri, mengingat cara si kelinci mencari cara yang rumit buat bunuh diri, padahal bener kata Dyka...beliin tiket ke Lembang aja, kita bikin sate kelinci...nyam...nyam...nyam.
duh...jadi laper...

SICK, TWISTED, WRONG, AND HILARIOUS.
sedih....
kehidupan segitu menyebalkankah? sampai kelinci pun memutuskan untuk bunuh diri dengan segala cara, senaas yang ada dipikiran penulis na. jadi sebenar na kesalahan pada kehidupan atau penulis na?
penulis pastilah sedikit banyak dipengaruhi oleh realita. tapi bukan na realita itu banyak ragam, ga mungkin kehabisan ide, lalu kenapa pertentangan ini yang diangkat....

Screamingly and macabre-ly (if that's a word) funny. I love humor that is clever, dark and actually funny. A favorite in this house since I first introduced it years ago. But then, we're all a little odd here.
Some of the "bunny suicide" methods are pretty blatant - think of the coyote and his ACME products in the "Roadrunner" cartoons - while others are more subtle; there was one that actually made reference to von Hagens' "plastination" method of pre...more

Suicide is never funny, unless those who are doing themselves in are cartoon fluffy bunnies. I felt a little guilty laughing at it, but couldn't help myself. The cartoons were just too funny not to. My favorite was the bunny who stood on only half a circle to be beamed up on star trek.
I was curious to read this book after learning of the many controversies -- and attempted pulling from shelves of outraged patrons at various libraries.
What, I wondered, was so devastatingly horrible that it was a such a danger to humanity?
As it turns out, a book of cartoons about some very sad little bunnies offing themselves. It's a spiral of misery, beginning with the first noose tied to the arms of a Big-Ben like clock to the use of a mini-trampoline and a helicopter....more

Far superior to good bad tv, but not really as attention-demanding as real books with real words. Not to mention, the most excellent bathroom reading in existence.

ahahahaha. lucuuu banget.
ternyata kelinci lebih punya banyak cara buat bunuh diri.
kalo baca buku ini, cara bunuh diri dengan loncat dari gedung bertingkat atau gantung diri atau minum racun terkesan kurang kreatif.hehe.
tapi kelinci tuh kenapa yah 'maksa' banget pengen bunuh diri.
padahal kan dia hewan yang lucu. di rumah-ku aja diternakin. kalo udah banyak baru dijualin ehehehe.
yah, mungkin dia bosan jadi hewan percobaan.

The line-drawn bunny in Andy Riley's Bunny Suicides book seems to be the same one in every panel, no matter how many times he offs himself, giving the bunny the air of a Wile E. Coyote figure who dies horrendously in every sequence and yet somehow manages to come back for more the instant you flip the page. This Persistence of Rabbit gives an otherwise macabre book a sweetness (believe it or not) that makes its gallows humor seem charming. The consistently inventive and increasingly unlikely sui...more
Author Andy Riley uses his wry sense of humor to depict in pictures how bunnies would do themselves in if they were finally fed up with their fluffy bunny lives. Using many popular culture references through pictures the author is able to capture the absurdity of bunnies committing suicide.
A great book for reluctant readers as there are very few words in this book. Most words in this book are used just as more fodder to illustrate the pictures. Although some of the pop culture refere...more

laugh at/with the pain... it's all we can do.
These suicidal bunnies graphically counterpoise the usual representation of fluffy personality by delivering sophisticated murderous schemes of its cute furry self. It goes to show that I am seemingly intrigued by clever uses of death in black parodies, (which also brings to mind my proclivity for Mad Magazine's "Spy vs. Spy" strips).

Cute fluffy bunnies "who just don't want to live any more" come up with ever more inventive ways to die. It's funny, in small doses. My favorites are the ones that don't make any sense, like the one with pairs of animals climbing into Noah's ark while the pair of bunnies sun themselves and have a cool drink in the grass.
I only read this at all because that woman in Oregan made such a fuss about it.

The idea of a book about fluffy little suicidal bunnies got me rather excited. I mean who in their right mind can ignore a book about bunnycide. Well my excitement turned to disappointment rather fast. You see it would seem that Mr.Fluff's ideas for suicide are unimaginative and not all that amusing. I will admit a few of the ideas for bunnycide did bring a smile to my face, but not many. I guess I was just expecting a little more from a bunny attempting suicide.
Prendete una giornata in cui l'umore tende al colore grigio/nero, in cui si vorrebbe ringhiare in faccia ad ogni persona che osa proferire parola al vostro cospetto. Poi prendete questo libro, sfogatevi e aspettate: la luce divina della rinascita scenderà su di voi e sul vostro ghigno soddisfatto ed estatico.
Sono una persona cattiva, diciamocelo, e a volte nemmeno tanto simpatica (non storcete il naso e non negate, capita a tutti). E un libro di questo tipo, che offre brillanti spunt...more

These bunnies are hardcore! They'll do anything to kill themselves. I really enjoyed the creativity of their deaths and the artwork. Of course, being an animal lover, I wanted to jump into the pages and try and talk them out of it. However, there is no helping these guys. Their time is up, and they are going out in style.
This is undoubtedly the most perverted book I’ve ever read. It’s also ingenious, and it’s very funny.
My favorite suicidal bunnies are the “Beam me up Scotty” and “Noah’s Ark” and also the “airplane toilet” and, and, and so many others.
I’m reminded a little of Gary Larson and I love The Far Side. Here though, it’s all bunnies, all suicidal, all the time.
I see that there are other books of additional suicidal bunnies. I’m not sure how many more variations this a...more

Cute book of cartoon bunnies ending it all by various clever methods. I picked this up for my teenaged son, who has a fondness for the graphic but couldn't resist reading it myself. This is as adorable as suicide ever gets, but it's not that hilarious nor is it terribly transgressive. It's just plain cute.
Suicide is your way to tell God, "you can't fire me, I Quit!"
ini salah satu yg sempurna..
kelinci panggang... enyak..enyak..

I felt almost bad at laughing at such a thing as suicide, but Andy Riley has created the deaths with such origonality and wit that you just can't help but to laugh. Bunnies have always been subject to jokes- from Monty Python to Pancaeks awn hedz; and this book takes bunny-related humor to the next level
Fans of Edward Gorey will enjoy the twisted, inventive romp through Andy Riley's mind. Riley follows the (usually) final misadventures of various bunnies in their creative attempts to shuffle off this mortal coil.
Definitely not for the sensitive, but definitely for those with a twisted sense of humor.

I know this is morbid and sick, but I never claimed to not like such things. You don't know why the bunnies want to kill themselves. You don't know why they don't just drink poison and be done with it. You don't care. It's a very creative book full of bunnies finding unusual ways to off themselves. Some of them are really sick, and some of them are just funny; since you don't really actually get to see the violence for the most part, it's almost Looney Tunes-esque, where you could imagine t...more
the recent banning attempt in Oregon prompted me to revisit this book. hilarious. cute. sick. sweet. unless your name is Taffey, then this book is not sweet at all. it will encourage children to get eviscerated by planes and assault aliens. things i do every wednesday.
A collection of simplistic, yet amusing images of depressed bunnies ending their lives in a variety of different, inventive ways. Worth a flick through, but I didn't find space for it among my permanent collection of similarly styled books.
Alcune vignette sono curiose, altre esilaranti, ma personalmente non lo considero proprio un libro. In dieci minuti si sfoglia e si sorride vedendo alcuni disegni, ma direi che lascia il tempo che trova. Ovviamente giudizio assolutamente personale.
Whether you have something against bunnies, go through life looking for schadenfreude, or just like macabre humor, this book is for you. If you do not fall into any of those categories, put the book down and just walk away quietly.
