Cat's Rake Handle.

Eh. It was fun at times. And really boring at times. A mediocre read at best.

Cat's Cradle, eh?

I've read a few of Vonnegut's other books and I liked those a lot. I was reading this book at work and this idiot that I work with asked me why I was reading this book; he thought it was God awful. That said: that comment just reminds me of how much of an idiot that guy is. I really liked this book. (I'm not saying you're an idiot if you don't like this book, but that guy, hands down...) Anyway, this is one of those books that you read through and then have to go back and analyze. I know that I didn't get all of the jokes/anecdotes the first time, but I really recommend this book. It won't dissapoint. What if Ice 9 was real? That'd be a really...well you'll see.

A must for Vonnegut fans

An easy read that led to Vonnegut's Anthropology B.A. The story evokes questions regarding mankind's ignorance when faced with scientific achievement.

surprises galore. many strange characters fit together in unexpected ways. important concept as to how easily we can end the world.

Could Have Been Better

I guess it's considered a modern classic by some, but it seemed kind of lazily written to me. Full of intriguing ideas and well-drawn characters, the book starts out strong enough. Once the action reaches San Lorenzo and begins to build toward its apocalyptic climax, however, it gradually becomes less and less coherent. While the story ends with the ultimate bang, it sort of whimpers its way there -- Maybe it's some sort of literary device that I just didn't get -- And is it just me, or does Vonnegut's slightly self-righteous cynicism, doubtless refreshing in the early 1960's when the book was published, now seem just a little tired? The Vonnegut true believers would probably call this so much "foma," but, in my opinion, if you're looking for one of the Great Man's books to read, stick with Slaughterhouse-Five
