I listened to the audiobook. Some was sublime, much was very good, much was not that good. The first CD-- maybe the first five or so stories?-- was by far the best. One meaningfule xception included a young boy in an apartment and a radio. Very glad I listened to the whole thing. it was a quite nice car experience.

What I like about Vonnegut’s short stories is that he seems to go out of his way to make them straightforward, approachable, and entertaining. The shorter format minimizes his tendency to go on tangents, and the endings usually brought things to a satisfying close. The sci-fi stories tended to be a little too concerned with their ideas to actually follow through on their characters, but the stories about regular people from Vonnegut’s time were uniformly charming and moving.

Always tricky to review a collection of short stories, but this includes some super intriguing premises. I enjoy Vonnegut’s playful humor, and even the stories that were misses for me still had interesting bits.

There was a wonderful variety of stories. I loved their bizarre, deadpan humour and thoughtful characterisation.
