Loved it -- the satirical humor, the simple drawings depicting his points, and all of the random events and facts scattered throughout the book.

This book just didn't do it for me. There some weird bits, the bizarre drawings, and mini vignette stories throughout didn't do it for me. The penis sizes described for the characters... once or twice wasn't too bad but when it continued on it just seemed ridiculous. The characters gave me some intrigue, although on the whole I didn't really find myself invested or interested in the narrative. This book was a flop in my opinion and the only redeeming factors were that it was sufficiently short and easy to read.

Non-challenge book: This was not necessarily the Vonnegut I've become used to. I definitely would not recommend it to first-time Vonnegut readers. It was much more personal, challenging, and oh so meta. A little more shocking too. It might need another read to figure out my reaction to it.
