I liked the themes and messages of the book but the execution of the story left much to be desired, especially when compared to Vonnegut's other works.

strange, post-modern take on storytelling. classic vonnegut. near the middle/end it almost seems like he's getting tired of writing.
okay i get it and i liked it, i was kind of having a hard time following the actual plot of events but i liked the thing it had going on
Still didn't find it quite as brilliant as Slaughterhouse-Five. The ending is absolutely beautiful, though ...

Very witty and interesting but also made me feel like I was going crazy lol.... Vonnegut is very singular
This is an excellent, if batshit crazy, book. Was not on my radar at all but will be picking up more of Vonnegut.

if you can get past the racial slurs and casual transmisogyny, this book was really good! Vonnegut's writing and sense of humour and all his little doodles are very charming and it really kept me engaged. that said, its very obvious this book is over half a century old, and gods is it not easy to get past the racial slurs and casual transmisogyny at points.
