Whenever people hear that I hate Vonnegut's work, they usually ask, "well, have you read 'Cat's Cradle'?" as though this book would make up for any of his other works. So, I finally picked it up, and I still hate his writing. While I didn't detest this as much as 'Slaughter House Five,' it still rambled on and included so many unnecessary details that the story became unfocused and, frankly, boring. At least my view of Vonnegut has remained consistent and I will now refuse to pick up any of his other books.

Vonnegut is a funny man with a funny way of telling stories. The book is weird, but full of humor, hypocrisy, and convolution.
One of the few books I've read twice. Definitely one of the funniest books I've ever read.
Beautiful writing interesting concept nice and short and easy to get through
Captivating to read, but not as engaging to me as Slaughterhouse-Five. It’s an interesting read learning of the Hoenikker children, religion of Bokononism and San Lorenzo. “There is no damn cat, and there is no damn cradle.”
