This box set includes: One of 500 numbered, limited editions of The Death of Bunny Munro signed by Nick Cave Seven CDs containing the complete unabridged audio edition of The Death of Bunny Munro, read by Nick Cave and featuring an original soundtrack to the novel composed by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (running time: 8 hours, 10 minutes) One DVD containing eleven short videos of Nick Cave reading from his novel Set adrift by his wife's suicide and struggling to keep a grip on reality, Bunny Munro does the only thing he can think of: with his young son in tow, he hits the road. To his son, waiting patiently in the car while his father peddles beauty wares and quickies to lonely housewives in the south of England, Bunny is a hero, larger than life. But Bunny himself, haunted by what might be his wife's ghost, seems only dimly aware of his son's existence. When his bizarre trip shades into a final reckoning, when he can no longer be sure what is real and what is not, Bunny finally begins to recognize the love he feels for his son. And he sees that the revenants of his world - decrepit fathers, vengeful ghosts, jealous husbands and horned psychokillers - are lurking in the shadows, waiting to exact their toll. At turns dark and humane, The Death of Bunny Munro is a tender portrait of the relationship between a boy and his father, with all the wit and enigma that fans will recognize as Nick Cave's singular vision.… (plus d'informations)

This started out okay, and it's firmly in the same neighbourhood as Chuck Palahniuk and Warren Ellis (though he's pretty much right next door to Chuck). The same nasty underbelly of society characters.

While I enjoyed it for a while, and I completely understood that Bunny was a sex addict, it got to the point where I began to think, ho hum, here's another girl. He's going to size her up and down, decide she'd do him, he'll imagine her vagina, throw a Kylie Minogue or Avril Lavigne reference in there, then grab his crotch.

I mean, it is what it is. But there was a point where I think even Cave didn't know where to take it.

It's okay, but there's better out there. ( )

Death of Bunny Munro by Nick Cave I like Nick Cave's music so I naturally came to this with some pre-conceptions.
 
I liked it but not as much as I wanted to.The thing I liked was how seedy it all was, like everything is seedy, the main character is seedy, the locations are seedy, the action is seedy. I guess it's that English thing about squalor. I lived in Amsterdam for a few years and people occupied empty houses (squats or kraakhuis). The Dutch occupied beautiful empty apartments overlooking the canals while the English occupied boarded up slums with no water or toilets or power.Bunny Munro would have been one of those kids when he was younger. Devoid of conscience and taste yet feral and active. There is not one single redeeming feature about Bunny Munro, no shred of humanity at all and the inevitability of it is like watching something die a horrible death.At the end of it I felt a bit like I'd swallowed something bad like processed English food. I know he is from Oz but has that thing down just so.Not for the faint hearted among us. ( )

ugh. yucky and weird. ( )

Quite repetitious and sometimes too comic, but amusing.
I like the fact that NC writes, and that his writing will not eclipse his music. ( )

The excessive perversion of the main character Bunny Munro is at times tiring and mostly unsettling. If not for the story of Bunny's son, Bunny Munro Jr., to counterbalance the storyline of the father, this book would have been lost in its pessimism. No doubt Nick Cave did not set out to create a likable protagonist; the reader has to take Bunny for who he is. I loved the side story of the devil man terrorizing England; it was the perfect pairing to this tale of self destruction and possible redemption. ( )

Nick Cave's new book, like its title character, offers a wild ride and comes to a bad end.
