A review by ssantoss
Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut

5.0

I loved this book. Loved every bit of it so much, I pick it up now and then just to read a few pages of it. It is at times funny, poignant, auto-biographical, harrowing, and always held up by strong metaphors and symbolism. It reads more like a series of essays at times than a novel, and has enough interruptions and side-thoughts that I often forgot exactly where the often-scattered plot had left off. But I didn't mind that one bit, and still loved every page. The retelling of Satan and God's relationship had me laughing particularly hard, and Satan's simple truth about life, that to be alive is to be "either bored or scared stiff" stayed with me and pops into my head almost daily.
