4 1/2One of my favorite Vonnegut novels. It's also an example of what he could do when he harnessed his imagination instead of letting it run wild. Not sure if that's a coincidence or cause and effect.

This was a short audiobook and I think I read it before as well. I read a few Kurt Vonnegut books in high school, but I only distinctly remembered that I read Slaughterhouse Five and Cat's Cradle. Mother Night I wasn't sure about. The book is short but good. Depressing though, which I wasn't reall...
Again I'm gut-punched by Vonnegut. And my tremendous admiration for his writing is reaffirmed, for his simplistic and economical prose that makes his books such easy reads, so that the words slip right on in, and only later unfurl themselves to show their many sides and depths.
Today I will tell you about an interesting and unexplicably underrated semi-underground tribe: the Vonnegutians.Either urban or rural, the Vonnegutians are spread all over the world (with primeval colonies in Indianapolis and the Galapagos islands) and cover at least three generations. Tendentially ...
my favourite of the Vonnegut novels, has edged slightly down from the 5/5 I gave it in December, rereading it just a few hours ago. I read this first at age, what, 17? finding it eminently more fast-paced than Slaughterhouse Five or Cat's Cradle (the other two really good vonnegut books). however, e...
What a quick and pleasurable book! The passage on the cuckoo clock in Hell (on the totalitarian mind) is wonderful:http://books.google.com/books?id=WiUuWn6sGqwC&pg=PA222&lpg=PA222&dq=the+forces+of+law+and+order+plunged+in+through+every+door,+waving+guns&source=bl&ots=FA3kGDgRjT&sig=tK38EwM672NptyR6F...
Howard W. Campbell, Jr, is writing his memoir as he sits in an Israeli prison cell, accused of war crimes in Germany during World War II. If you believe Howard W. Campbell, Jr, he's guilty as charged, but he's the only person whose direct testimony we're given. He surely was a high-ranking Nazi prop...
This novel is one of my favorite Kurt Vonnegut novels. I love the interplay between intentions and consequences. Howard Campbell Jr served as an American spy in World War II under the guise of a German propagandist. The war is over but he is captured as a war criminal and his true role was never ...
