A New Perspective On Nazi Germany

This book is fantastic. The plot itself is worth the price of the book but the ending will throw you for a loop, I know it did for me.

The book is a very quick read and doesn't really have alot of historical facts or detailed descriptions. This book is no different than any other Vonnegut book in that its very ambiguos. We never find out why the Nazi's decided to give Campbell his own show or why the OSS decided to use Campbell as a spy.

Despite this the book is a very fun read. Its funny and often hilarious (especially when describing aging racists in America). I would reccomend this book to any reader of any age. Its, quite simply, a good story.

Quite possibly the greatest novel I've ever read....

Mother Night is almost insanely profound, and equally insanely easy to read. Never before have I read a book so packed with material for thought in such an easy to digest package...imagine eating cotton candy and getting the same satisfaction (and nutritional content!) as you would had you eaten a five-course meal. I just finished re-reading it, and am still somewhat in awe. The harried musings of a man who obviously has seen much, and is disappointed in what he sees, but with a shrug of the shoulders. This book made me stop to ponder until it hurt, and supplied me with my new favorite quote..."It's a hard world to be ludicrous in."

You can read this easily in one sitting, and puzzle over it for a lifetime.

A Book with an Important Message

In the end, you are what you pretend to be [so be careful what you pretend to be]... What a message. What an impact this book had on me... Many people might see a weak story here, and indeed I do, too, but the underlying message is highly important. And indeed, the books gets engaging at points by having a fast paced story at times, with a lot of... not action... but drama.

A departure for Vonnegut, but a welcome one

Any first time Vonnegut reader should start with the justifiably famous "Cat's Cradle" or "Breakfast of Champions," and anyone who loved those works would do go to branch out to this novel. It's a different style for him, but works wonderfully. He does a good job of putting the book in a realistic historical perspective and makes some great statements about war, espionage, the human soul, and misguided racism and politics. I wouldn't call it his best work, but the worst thing he's written would still warrant at least 4 stars, and this gets 5.

Mother Night - Exceptionally Meaningful

Wow....I just finished Mother Night yesterday. It was very interesting and well written, as Vonnegut's novels seem to be. It was a departure from his usual crazy sci-fi. That does not mean it was bad, however. It was a great book because it had some great depth and philosophical things to say. It was such a page-turner that it only took me one day to read! And I usually don't like to read! Anyway, I give the book 6 stars, and this book is just another example of Vonnegut's genius in writing.
