Just trying to characterize this book gets you into trouble. It looks very much like a book for children - or a cross between a comic book and a typical children's book - but most of it would not make sense to kids. It deals with distinctly adult insecurities and complex relationships. On the other hand, the enjoyment I got from reading the book was distinctly childlike.
The central character (at least in one sense) is Fluffy, a bunny who acts very much like a human four-year old; however, a description of the characters or the plot will not help you appreciate the uniqueness of this book. In fact, the plot is very much secondary to the development Fluffy's "daddy" goes though.
While reading Fluffy I had the very pleasurable experience of finding myself caring deeply for the characters, hoping for a happy end. Maybe I am jaded, but that has not happened in a long time. The storytelling is innovative and effective. The art is simple and lovely. As a whole, this extremely cute book is funny, profound and highly recommended. Fluffy defies categories.

I decided to buy this book after reading an interview with the author in the Guardian. I am a big fan of graphic novels and couldn't resist the kawaii cute element of this book. The story itself is about a baby rabbit who is being looked after by an anxious, single man whom Fluffy thinks is her daddy; making it both amusing and charmingly disturbing.
"Fluffy, I'm not your real daddy-"
"Yes you are daddy"
"No, I'm a man and you're a bunny"
"I'm not a bunny"
I found this book wonderfully irresistible, even if it did leave me completely bewildered from time to time. Overall, it is a lovingly illustrated story of responsibility, unconditional love, despair and the unanswered questions in life.

I must admit, I originally bought 'fluffy' for the twee, cute-little-bunny factor. I wasn't quite sure what to expect other than some adorable pictures of a cute little bunny. But Fluffy is much more than just some cute drawings (although those drawings are pretty damn adorable). What strikes you first is the absolute accuracy with which Lia crafts the dialogue of the (roughly) five-year-old bunny. His observations, childike obsessions and unconditional love for his 'daddy' are so well written that you'd think Lia had a small child at hand to steal phrases from. Other highlights of the book include a particle of dust serving as a narrator, a cast of individually neurotic and slightly bonkers people from all over, beautiful illustrations which manage to evoke tension, emotion and great comic timing (not easy to draw!) and a good helping of cute.
Enough waffle. Buy fluffy!
