It is a well known fact to those that know it well, that The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse, must-read.

It is the best book I've read in ages. If you're a fan of Dragon Warrior's humor, you'll love this book. The plot is full of irony, sarcasm and satire, from page one to the very end.

[quote name='the blurb']Once upon a time Jack set out to seek his fortune in the big city - but when Jack finally gets there, it is Toy City, formerly known as Toy Town. And there is a serial killer loose upon the streets. One by one, the old, rich nursery rhyme characters are being brutally slaughtered. The Toy City police are getting nowhere; Bill Winkie, Private Eye, has also mysteriously vanished, leaving only his sidekick, Eddie Bear, to take care of business. But Eddie's ready, and when he teams up with Jack, the two set out on an epic adventure. Not to mention a lot of heavy drinking, bad behaviour, fast car chases, gratuitous sex and violence, bizarre toy fetishism and all-round grossness. Of a type not normally associated with Toy Town.[/quote]
The book takes the angle of a detective novel, with many twists and turns along the way that will keep you guessing until the very end. Even then, you'll find yourself surprised at the outcome.

This book is very much a dark humor offering, think a dark, murder-mystery Shrek, a much wittier version of Robots (which had the Rodney Copperbottom character seeking his fortune in the Big City as well...That's where the similarities end).and you'll get some inkling of what THCBOTA offers you.

Despite the blurb talking about gratuitous sex and bizarre toy fetishisms, this book is actually very tasteful, not letting itself slide into pornographic detail and being restrained with the wordplay regarding the sex, wittling it down to a mere sentence or two. The book also abstains from actually using any swear words. at least until [spoiler] the near-end of the book, where the word "Shit" was used to spectacular effect, capturing the moment of frustration and agony the characters found themselves in at the time.[/spoiler]

I highly reccomend you check this book out. It's incerdibly entertaining and wiull leave you with a smile on your face.[/color]
