I've read this twice now and it's such a wild ride. Very enjoyable and interesting. 

Note that there are quite a few racial slurs in this book, so if that is upsetting to you you may want to pass on it. I will say, it does make sense for the time period and characters that are using them though. The narrative is not racist in my opinion but some of the characters are.

I usually love Vonnegut, this one was very scattered. It kept my attention throughout the first half, but the last parts of the book I found myself skimming. I understand the nuances, but the ending was very hard to push through.
