Look at the Birdie by Kurt Vonnegut

5.0

Vonnegut's writing in this collection has a strong sense of rhythm and dealt with darker thematic material than Bagombo Snuff Box, making stories such as Ed Luby's Key Club, Hall of Mirrors and the title story, Look At the Birdie positively exhilarating. More often than laughter, I found myself gasping in shock and wonderment at the twists and conclusions. Most stories do end with what seems to be an optimistic outcome, but there is a sense of openness to the characters and their lives: that although this episode is over, something sinister may still lie ahead of them.
