A wonderful fever dream.  I've just finished it and I'm left with a book buzz, but also a small ball of nausea in the bottom of my stomach that only time will settle.  This story was like The Craft meets Heathers.  It's perfect for your average Generation X reader who still thinks it's cool not to sell out and secretly wants to punish those mean girls in high school who had everything.  I enjoyed it and I didn't. It was brilliant.  If you are in the mood for dark absurdity, as one often is in the fall, check Bunny out.

It wasn't at all what I was expecting, and I was really pleasantly surprised. I could not put down the book, as Awad's story is so compelling and mysterious. I was really half horrified and half mesmerized by the end, and it really is one if this book that has so many possible interpretations on the event.
