I haven’t read much by Kurt Vonnegut, and most of what I have read was back in high school and university. I heard good things about this book so I picked it up at the library.
The story was an extremely clever and sharp look at humanity and the power of time and nature. Unfortunately it was not exactly a celebration of the human experience.
But the sharp satire here was pretty funny, and it holds up well even well past the publishing date of 1985. There is some outdated stuff (Japanese economics, acid rain) but for the most part it was very entertaining.
Although the tone was a little wearing on me I enjoyed the book, and I liked that the author took the chance to be completely ridiculous on purpose to make his points.
Next I am reading All the Beauty in the World by Patrick Bringley.
