    one of my favorite books. It was my first vonnegut book, it really got me into him. Just pay attention to the satire..(not too tough to follow). it is awesome.

    i think this book is brilliant, but i think all vonnegut is brilliant...you should read blue beard and welcome to the monkey house...both books are fantastic...

    i looooved cat's cradle. it's probably my favorite by vonnegut (of the four i've read.) the concept of bokonism was interesting and i liked how the chapters were divided strangely.
