Vonnegut always comes up with interesting stories that make you question what the fuck is going on. This book is classic for a reason. The exploration of religion as comforting lies.

If you've read Slaughterhouse Five and thoughts that was Vonnegut's best wok, (which it probably might be), you'd still not be disappointed, because this story contains a very similar experience of satire at its best and will give you many moments of laughter at highly inappropriate situations.

I'm simply a fan of Mr. Vonnegut's writing now and I know people say that his biggest and most ardent fans are teenagers, but since I hadn't read any of his books in my teenage years, I can say you can never be too old to become a fan of his books, especially if you love satire as a genre.

Can't wait to read more of his books and thank Bokonon that he has written so many!
