This was weirdly enough the first Vonnegut I read. I want to pick up more. I enjoyed the story and found it easy to read.
Several plots and themes felt as I would expect something written in 1959 to feel. The Sci fi style of that era is much different than I am used to, but still read like a romp in space.
There were strong ethical questions raised, as well as the overwhelming preoccupation with what is the point of life.
I look forward to discussing this with my bookclub.

I loved Slaughterhouse Five, and I was enjoying Sirens of Titan too…
Such a shame, because this was otherwise a nice, short book that tackles the futility of human life done via sci-fi. Some bits at the beginning were pretty funny too. The part on Mars and Mercury were a bit tedious and not as interesting. The ending was a mixed bag.
