The Death of Bunny Munro: A Novel Audiobook

" Crazy, laugh out loud twistedness "

" The Death of Bunny Munro is about a door-to-door salesman who drinks too much, makes lewd comments to women, ignores his devoted son, and attempts to have sex with most women he encounters. Not an appealing character to centre a novel around. Author (and musician) Nick Cave provides thoughtful insights into what makes someone like Bunny tick, and creates a compelling enough story to keep me reading to the end. My problem with the novel came from being a long-time Nick fan. When i pictured Bunny in my head, I saw Nick Cave. His crass and distasteful actions became Nick's. And it made me question my devotion to his music! A Cave song came on a random shuffle the other day and before I realized it, I was skipping it in disgust! Hopefully this reaction is short-lived, because I have a LOT of his music that right now is unlistenable. "

" Loved it. It's like the dodgiest boyfriend you've ever had, only times 10 worse. Get into it folks, this book won't disappoint. "

" I loved the idea of a book in which the reader knows some part of the outcome (see: title). But wish that the book had been better plotted. The characters were cartoonish. I don't mind outlandishness, but please don't sacrifice complexity. Cave probably has a thing or two to learn from Irvine Welsh. "

" Loving it so far... Good effort from Nick Cave. "

" Can a person really be that one track minded as Bunny Munro? However Bunny Jnr is a great character and saves the book in the end. The story kind of careens out of control as it reaches the inevitable conclusion. How many times does a narrative need the word "vagina"? Not that many. "

" Belongs in an aiport. Toilet. "

" I found it so touching, so deep, never thought Nick Cave would have such good writting "

" MY NAME IS NICK CAVE AND IM GOING TO FUCK YOU NOW. Or at least thats how the book felt. "

" Somewhere in between the numerous hilarious references to Avril's vagina and Kylie's panties, St. Nick Cave has succeeded in creating a symbolic tragicomedy. "

" to the trash can "

" Suicide, daddy issues, fantasies about anal sex with Kylie Minogue, everything you could want from Mr Cave. The tone of this book reminded me of Filth by Irvine Welsh, a cold useless desperation permeating everything. Worth the few pages it was written on. "

" I love Nick Cave, and I really loved And The Ass Saw The Angel, but this was basically a Grinderman album in novel form. "

" Bunny gets relentlessly drunk and self-destructive. "

" Nick Cave definitely wrote this. Enjoyed it but he should stick to the music. "

" Belongs in an aiport. Toilet. "

" To call this a towering under-achievement would be a heroic understatement. And The Ass Saw no reason to put forth much of an effort, apparently. "

" the language was very interesting and all of cave's hallmark imagery was here--but the story was pretty boring and the climax was lame. "

" One of the most self-indulgent pieces of trash I have ever read. The only thing that kept me turning the pages was how amazingly bad it was. Too bad, because he wrote a really good book, once. "

" Nick Cave never ceases to astound me. His range of talents is vast and staggeringly refined. With this book, Cave creates a main character so creepy and disturbing, it is difficult to enjoy. Yet, the craftsmanship is so astute, I just pressed on hoping there would be some light in the darkness. "

" Truly dreadful. I could sum this up as Nick Cave's "Vagina Monologue." Prurient and offensive from page 1, it has all the depth of a 13 year old boy's fetid sexual imagination. Wish I could give minus points. "

" This is simply the worst book I have ever read. There are no other words to describe how bad it is. Such a shame because Nick Cave is an excellent song writer and his first book got rave reviews. But seriously, what was he thinking? "
