The Great Vonnegut Reread of 2017 Part One
I first read this book 20 some years ago and remember thinking at the time, "I don't ever need to read that again." A second read bears this thought out.
This is Vonnegut's first novel and it shows. It is not good. He had yet to find his voice, his fragmentary style of writing, and, quite frankly, his ability to construct a compelling narrative. Even so, embryonic Vonnegut is still Vonnegut.
FINAL WORD: I don't ever need to read that again.
