Armageddon in Retrospect
Kurt Vonnegut

Putnam Adult, 2008

Interesting Insight into Vonnegut's Mind
Understandably, Vonnegut is highly anti-war/violence. He provides interesting points through his metaphorical stories. Vonnegut throws in several emotions, varying from humor to depression, most of which the stories are individually tailored to. Overall these were ...
  
  











  



  
Slaughterhouse-Five
Kurt Vonnegut

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1999

On Another Level
Somewhere in the first chapter (or maybe the second, if you are convinced that the first chapter is a foreword), it dawns on you: this is not normal. The main character is not dynamic. There is no real, driving conflict. There is no escalation, nor any other ...
  
  











  



  
God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater
Kurt Vonnegut

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1998

It's hard to critique Vonnegut
Vonnegut is one of those genius writers that you can't help but love. "Slaughterhouse 5" was my first venture into the realm of Vonnegut, but I have to say that I think I enjoyed this tale much more. Perhaps because the topic is closer to my heart, or perhaps I was ...
  
  











  



  
Welcome to the Monkey House
Kurt Vonnegut

The Dial Press, 1998

Perfect Timing
I purchased this book as a gift for my husband. It arrived on time, and the book was such a great read, my husband purchased another book from the same author as soon as he finished this one.
  
  











  



  
The Sirens of Titan
Kurt Vonnegut

The Dial Press, 1998

A Trip to the Meaning of Life
Abandon all native ways of thought processing. Kurt Vonnegut strips his readers' idea of reality apart and replaces it with a new one. Whether it is dark or beautiful it is the reader's choice depending on how it is perceived. Vonnegut's, Sirens of Titan, exploits ...
  
  











  



  
Cat's Cradle
Kurt Vonnegut

Dell Publishing, 1998

Surreal yet all too close to the truth...
Vonnegut's novel takes the reader into the myriad faces of human emotions--from disenchantment to awe, skepticism to empathy, from horror and madness to succor and redemption. This dryly humorous and unforgivingly scathing story of the seemingly inevitable tendency of ...
  
  











  



  
Player Piano
Kurt Vonnegut

The Dial Press, 1999

Shocking through and through
This book is a 5-star book for engineers and technologists, particularly those working for big corporations, but probably only a 3-star book for anybody else. (You can guess from my rating what I do.) Vonnegut creates hybrid eu/dystopia brought about by the ultimate ...
  
  











  



  
A Man Without a Country
Kurt Vonnegut

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007

Vonnegut Never Fails
"A Man Without A Country" is a must read for anyone who loves Mr. Vonnegut. It is a collection of short essays and writings published 2 years before his death. Written in true Vonnegut fashion, I believe he is on point with his satire and knowledge of the world more ...
  
  











  



  
Breakfast of Champions
Kurt Vonnegut

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1999

Breakfast Of Champions
Breakfast Of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut ***** Breakfast Of Champions is satire at it's all time best, and Breakfast of Champions is Kurt Vonnegut's all time best, the only other novel of his to even come close is Slaughterhouse-Five. Which is a must read. But as I ...
  
  











  



  
Mother Night
Kurt Vonnegut

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1999

Consumed the novel in a day
The great thing about Vonnegut is that he makes it very easy to read his books, with or without an education. It may appear to some that he over simplifies or is self indulgent in his tales, which may be true, but we live in a generation of oversimplification. And a ...
  
  











  



  
Jailbird
Kurt Vonnegut

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1999

All History is Gossip
Poor Walter F. Starbuck. He should have been a servant to those who make history because he certainly wasn't any good at participating in history. He serves a short sentence for being in the general vicinty during the Watergate mess. His crime seems to have been ...
  
  











  



  
Timequake
Kurt Vonnegut

Berkley Trade, 1998

Coda
With "Timequake", Vonnegut's final novel, he is clearly looking backward. When the universe stops expanding, everyone on the planet is forced to relive the last ten years of their life exactly as it had been before. Although this clearly ties in with Vonnegut's common ...
  
  











  



  
Fates Worse Than Death
Kurt Vonnegut

Berkley Trade, 1992

Peek Into Vonnegut's Head
These essays give us a rare look in to the mind of a genius. He expounds on subjects ranging from mental illness, family relationships, death and war. Sounds depressing, but an optimism shows through. Vonnegut masterfully points out the adsurdity around us and ...
  
  











  



  
Deadeye Dick
Kurt Vonnegut

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1999

Wonderful, Like Wandering Through a Junky Antique Shop
Vonnegut does his fans a service with this satirical parable packaged with original food recipes. DEADEYE DICK starts strong and ends the same way all good novels end, leaving you looking at the world in a different light. Again Vonnegut questions the motives of the ...

You'll Enjoy It!
Again, Kurt Vonnegut produces an excellent work of art through literature. This book, Wampeters, Foma & Granfalloons (Opinions) is a collection of essays written by Vonnegut. It took me only a few hours to begin and finish this book while drinking coffee in front of a ...
