Customer Reviews
Too old to care how controversial he is. - Rated I love this book, and I have immense respect for Mr.V. I've read most of his books. He has turned me on to lots of ideas, Humanism being the main one. In this round up of thoughts, he points out some very uncomfortable truths about the world we live in and our ignorance and he does this with frank bare-faced honesty, a man not long for this world he has so much to say to us, he has seen and been through so many things. He was in Dresden when the British bombed it, and the horror of it practically drove him mad, I believe his wife/mother drank Draino and killed herself, most of his friends are dead, he invented a religon and created Kigore Trout. When you read him, each sentence is loaded with thought and wit, he's like a full bodied wine. I look forward to his next book. Money for old rope... - Rated Vonnegut fans will find nothing new in this. Having said that, it's a funny, bright and quick read. If you're fan you will have bought it already, if not buy one of his novels first. Still as sharp as ever - Rated Great to see that Vonnegut is still as wise and as cutting as ever in this latest (hopefully not last...at 83 we still don't to lose him!) outing. Although some of the ground (and a few of the anecdotes) may be familiar to diehard fans, his razor wit and observation couple with this outrage at the evils of the world and you can't help but be uplifted. What a spirit, what a guy! Vonnegut is a legend - Rated if you haven't read vonnegut's novels then read them. all of them. now. (my personal fave is Breakfast of Champions). the man is a subversive genius with an astonishing imagination and a unique way with words. if you have read his novels, then you will no doubt be in love with this guy. if so, then this book is a must-read. simple as that. (p.s - anyone that doesn't like him must be either illiterate or a republican. so you might as well just ignore the bad reviews.) An interesting read... - Rated I bought this from amazon's American site last year. It really is good, although as commented elsewhere, parts of it have appeared elsewhere, notably the In these Times website. It seems to me to be aimed at finding Vonnegut a new audience however, and for those who haven't read him before it's excellent stuff. Those who follow his works closely might want to hope that he finished the novel he says "won't be finished".
