The Runaway Bunny it isn't. The narration by Judith Ivey is varied and enjoyable. The story is heart-wrenching, but not in a way I respect. It breaks your heart with the misery of virtually every person Edward encounters. It breaks your heart with the suicidal despair of this china rabbit. And then a happy ending is tacked on to the end. Perhaps I don't like such dark stories filled with emotional horror I know I don't like endings that simply don't work.
