Much better. After reading and, much to my chagrin, not enjoying Slaughterhouse Five, I decided to venture forth once more into Vonnegut to see if I had been a victim of a poor first impression. Just goes to show you that a cult classic is probably not the best choice to get a feel for an author.

Choppy, apocalyptic satire about Ice-Nine, a scientific discovery that ends the living world.
My favorite part of Cat's Cradle is the book's namesake. "See the cat? See the cradle?" Newt Hoenikker asks. His taunting implication being that No, you don't see anything. That not...more...

Cat's Cradle is not my favourite Vonnegut book, but was the one that had the greatest impact on my life.
I was in grade eleven and I was below average student. If I had any chance of getting into University, I would need to show some significant improvement in pretty much all of my class...more...

Cat’s Cradle
I’m not much of a reader or a person that would want to finish a book that doesn’t interest me I am most likely to doodle inside them and create illustrations of vivid scenes in the book. The story of Cat’s C...more...

A great, fun novel. I wish Bokonon was in the book more, not just his writings, but that is a gripe. The book is great, filled with a collage of terrified, shivering creatures. I love Newt. "No wonder kids grow up crazy. A cat's cradle is nothing but a bunch of X's between somebody's hands, and...more...

Kurt Vonnegut's creation of the Cat's Cradle is a satirical, comical and yet strikingly frightening take on the human condition and here it will, inevitably, lead us. He is extremely misleading in his simplistic, choppy, writing style that gives the opportunity for anybody and anybody who has a smal...more...

In my opinion one of Vonnegut's best works, although they all rock. This darkly satirical look at the end of the world and the greed and stupidity of the human race which speeds ever closer to apocalypse is made even more amazing when you consider that it, for all intents and purposes, defies the co...more...

"What makes you think a writer isn't a drug salesman?"
(p.153, Philip Castle to narrator)
This book is as old as I am (it was published the year I was born) but it's undoubtedly wearing its age much better than I. Most writers go for vocabulary lessons and stylistic tricks ...more...

This book used to be my religion. When I lived as a wandering, hitchiking hippie I was just acting on the Bokononist tenet, "Always take weird travel suggestions". I used to try to determine whether people in my life were in my karass. I laughed at granfuloons. Its a fun read. Vonnegut is ...more...
