If you wonder about life and the world and if there is anything good to read, read this!

I frankly hold this one book as the perfect example of fiction writing at its best. Intelligent, creative, wry, funny, brilliant. Read it! If you don't have at least a slightly twisted sense of humor, don't bother reading it.

The perfect wrang-wrang.

I don't know whether to categorize the book as political, adventurous, anti-religious, satirical or philosophical (perhaps all). This being my first Vonnegut novel, I can say with personal conviction, that I am a staunch Bokononist. The journey of Cat's Cradle is one of absurdities, cliches, wisdom, luck and chance. What I find intriguing is how Vonnegut manages to balance the seriousness of the atomic bombing of Japan, and the foolish life of a scientist, who helped create it. I do like the characters and feel they all have their moment of catharsis. Somehow they all feel relevant to the story, yet John(the main character) never seems dull.

This is the one!

Of all Vonnegut books, I'd have to say Cat's Cradle is his greatest achievement (despite a few short pieces of his that are brilliant). So, if there are any Vonnegut "newbies" out there looking for the right Vonnegut book to start with, order away! You will not be disappointed.

This is truly an amazing book, if your interested in reading anything by Kurt Vonnegut I would recomend this being your first, I swear it, if you read Cats Cradle you will be hooked on Vonegut!

Vonnegut's best

I've read many of Vonnegut's books over the past few years and I have to say that this is easily his greatest work. It contains a gripping tale about a protagonist that is stuck in a world that is almost certainly doomed to fail. Along the way there are many interesting thoughts expressed and funny moments.
