Thought provoking about the act of writing and telling stories. Actual story is fairly silly but entertaining and I’m still thinking about it since I finished.

Starts interestingly but unguided, wandering here and there without a real point. The final 40 pages make the full novel worth it, but it felt like Vonnegut was egging around a little before making the bold choices that make this books really interesting.

I love Kurt Vonnegut's black humor and satire, but this novel, in particular, was freaking weird. This book is way out there to point where it starts to make zero sense. The plot was extremely unfocused. Vonnegut might give you a tiny little nugget of the plot, before going off on some random tangent, which became very distracting. I became so bored because I just gave up trying to make sense of everything because everything in this book is so nonsensical. I would not start with this as your first Vonnegut book.
