Funny Yet Dark Humor-Great Fun Gift
If you like morbid and dark humor, you’ll probably love this book. Unless you can’t stand the thought of suicidal bunnies, but the title makes that clear.The pictures are great for such a book, comically drawn and easily understandable. The ideas are hilarious and will make you laugh with every page.I accidentally bought three, gave two away as gifts and then kept one because it was so funny.

Hysterically Funny
Since I was a kid I have loved these kind of cartoons. They ARE deliciously wickedly funny.

Wickedly funny!
Unlike other reviewers who discovered this gem at a local bookstore, I actually found out about "Bunny Suicides" while thumbing through a copy of Entertainment Weekly. There was a quick blurb about "Suicides" under a section featuring up-and-coming books, movies, & music. After seeing the initial mention in EW, I decided to order the book, not knowing what to expect. Much to my delight, I found "Suicides" to be a clever and wickedly funny read. I think most anyone will get a good giggle from this book, as they watch a bunch of bunnies trying to find ridiculously funny (and improbable) ways to commit suicide. I noticed one or two reviewers who found "Suicides" to be extremely distasteful, but personally I found the comedy neither crude nor offensive. It's dark humor, at worst.I think this is a great book that'll add some levity to anyone's bookshelf. Plus, it's a funny gift for people of all ages (I should know because I've bought multiple copies for friends). I suppose the only folks who would oppose this book are PETA...but even then, I'm sure no bunnies were harmed in the production of this book.

Exactly as advertised
Exactly as advertised . It is a book of Bunny Suicides and knowing I like bunnies and dislike suicides, I really should have stayed away.

Dangerous mind
The best thing about _The Book of Bunny Suicides_ is that there's actually not that much gore involved. Oh, sure, there are plenty of decapitated, disemboweled, liquefied, and otherwise visibly deceased bunnies in evidence. And don't get me wrong: that's funny too.Yet Riley is clearly among that rare but blessed breed of humorists who recognize that the anticipation can be even funnier than the payoff. And so, right after he shows us three bunnies impaled upon a light saber, he shows us two more bunnies calmly sunning themselves on the beach as Noah's Ark prepares to depart.On the downside, Disney may never hire Riley again once it gets a load of _The Book of Bunny Suicides_. On the upside, he's already proven that this would be Disney's loss rather than his.Funniest, bunni^H^H^H^H^HNO I WILL NOT MAKE THAT DUMB JOKE cartoon collection of 2003, paws down.

Loved it
I bought this book as a prank, for a friend, and I have to say it was a fun read for both of us. We both have that dry sense of humour, and we thought bunny was adorable. I am planning to buy another copy for myself.

Great stuff!
While twisted, I love this stuff. So creative. Taps into may current cultural references. This series are family favorites. Like Far Side, but darker.Recommend reading it before sharing with your children. I keep it from the very young and control the access to my older children. The material is dark so I don’t want constant access.

Funny fluffy Bunnies
If you are disturbed by cartoons that play around on the dark side of humor, this book may not be for you. If on the other hand you like cartoons like Lenore and the Far Side, then this might be right up your alley. This book is full of spot-on funny drawings of little fluffy bunnies who just don't want to live any more, and find creative ways to end their fluffy little existance. My favorite: The little fluffy bunnie doing the "peace" sign standing in line-up with Fascist soldiers...This book is giving me daily laughs, and I glory in making sane people squirm, then burst out chuckling, shamefacedly admit that they LOVE this book.Oh, and I gave a copy to my professor in "Clinical treatment of personality disorders". It was well received.

Bunnies Beware!
This is a cruel book, drawn by someone with a twisted mind who clearly should not have been allowed access to pen and paper. If you were offended by some of Gary Larson’s cartoons, you’ll hate these.Warning: you may laugh quite a lot.

If it's a gift, get it gift-wrapped!
I meant to give this away, but somehow it sneaked onto my shelf. Remember the time spent in junior school, planning stick-men deaths and perfecting cruesome torture machines with your equally macarbe best friend? If so this book is a keep, I also enjoy the illustrations that have a more 'where's whally' feel. Otherwise you'd better steer-clear of this, or it'll be the cause of moral decay and the reason for children assisting a pet bunny to commit euthanasia.

Just Gotta Laugh
I am an anti-hunting, anti-animal experimentation animal-lover who finds the term Sport Fishing a true oxymoron. Our pets probably get better care than our children! That said, I love these books. They are so over the top that I find it impossible not to laugh out loudly. Really can't imagine the type of person who wouldn't smile at Andy Riley's wonderfully black humour.

Not for vegans or snowflakes.
This is a very funny little book, very imaginative. Andy Riley has a great sense of humour.Someone somewhere will be offended by this, but I'm not one of them. It's great.
