This one definitely missed the mark for me. I felt it was lacking in a central premise and/or meaningful philosophy compared to other works by Vonnegut.
Also minus an additional star because I cannot even articulate how frustrating the treatment of the character Bee was throughout the entire novel.

Not Vonnegut’s most consistent book, but such a strong start. And a definite entry into the canon of funny books with poignant and sad endings.

I found the nihilism in this book a little too bleak to be enjoyable.
