Would this work as 'a book with an unreliable author' for a reading challenge? (No spoilers please!)

May you mean narrator? yes. For an unreliable author I recommend The Secret or anything by someone who thinks they are a wizard. Paulo Coelho would fit.

Reading the reviews it looks like it's not a popular theory, but for me it seemed like that the narrator is unreliable as hell and he didn't kill anyone. The bunny scene makes it quite obvious. Accidents happen. So what's against it, why do we take his word for it?

What was the point of the drunk scene? I love this book but this scene made me think it didn't have to be included. It didn't seem to serve the plot or grow the character? Was there a reason it was in the book that I missed?
