This book was clever and amusing and exactly what I’ve come to expect from Vonnegut. However, this was not my favourite of his and I just couldn’t really get into it.

By no means my favourite Vonnegut but still an enjoyable read. Felt scattered even by his standards

More of a 3.75, but I’m rounding up

I read this in less than the time it took me to fly from L.A. to Chicago, and though I remember liking it, I don’t remember anything all that substantial about it. This is a problem I have with Vonnegut a lot. It’s possible that his books are too easy for me to read, and thus I gobble. At some point in the future, I will have to force myself to gooooooo sloooooow.

Hurrah, another review that’s more about me than about the book! \o/
