Summary: Fun
Review: I thought the book was a good yarn. It was entertaining and fun. It was way out there at times, but that just goes to show you that Bowman is full of imagination. I think that people who called his writing pretentious should chill-out and free their imaginations. I agree with another reviewer that the cover is pretty cool.

Summary: Bunny Modern= P.O.S.
Review: i wanted to like this book, but it was so poorly written that it simply wasn't possible. i don't feel so bad hating this book after seeing the multiple folks also give it one star. let's put it this way, i think mr. bowman has family living in grinnel iowa, because under no circumstances could this be a 5 star book. three maybe, four if you know the author, but this is a book only the mother of the author could give 5 to. ma bowman, shanme on you!

Summary: burns so much better than it reads...
Review: i was at a flea market, and i figured i would give the book a try since it was in the 'next-in-line-to-be-tossed' bin, and the name sounded somewhat interesting. memo to david bowman: next book you write, make sure it has a point. it makes it so much more meaninful for the reader. to those amazon customers, and i don't think there are that many, given the book is 493,678 on the big ol' list, don't waste your money. i got my .49 cents worth though, i literally used it to start my first fire of the season when it got a little chilly last week. so, for that mr. bowman, i THANK YOU!

Review: portentious, pretentious drivel. the success Bowman might have had with his first book has clearly gone to his head in this dull, dull book.

Summary: original
Review: This book is really really weird, it's even beyond sci-fi. It's not the good kind of weird-- the kind that's funny or coherent or immediately preceding nocturnal emissions. Instead, the plot is the product of a drugged-out dude (who else can think of women sitting near magnetic fields to make their eggs �predatory,� or Sharper Image neo-pigeons). You really have to suspend your disbelief; otherwise you�ll really hate it. The prose is not really innovative, making it a bad accompaniment to the over the top events. If you want to read books that are good kind of weird, read any Terry Southern book, Dune, or Catch 22.

Summary: Good Idea, Bad Execution
Review: This book sounded a lot cooler than it turned out to be, and while there were a few interesting conceits, it didn't work for me as a whole. About 20 years in the future there is no electricity, it has simply ceased to work, and for some reason reproduction is much rarer as well. Thus, in New York, nannies are heat-packing badasses, hooked on a drug called "Vengeance." Unfortunately, this doesn't lead the reader anywhere particularly interesting.

Summary: The future of the world is--Guam!
Review: This is another boonie dog book review from Wolfie and Kansas. We read "Bunny Modern" by David Bowman from a regional, rather than canine, perspective, because the book appears to be based in part upon a Guamanian riddle. Q: What did the ancient Chamorros (inidgenous inhabitants of Guam) use for light before they had candles? A: Electricty. "Bunny Modern" is set in the New York City area in a postelectric future. Bowman's comic science fiction novel is premised upon a worldwide blackout caused by a "Morphic Aberration", rather than the typhoons and lack of maintenance on baseload generators that periodically leave Guam in the dark. Nonetheless, much of the portrayal of postelectric life in "Bunny Modern" rings true. Bowman's portrayal of the reaction when the lights finally came back on was very similar to the reaction of our noncanine animal companions of primate derivation when they recently got power back 32 days after Typhoon Paka. "Bunny Modern" is a book that will entertain readers in Guam, parts of Canada and New England, or any other place that has entered the post-electric age for an extended period of time.
