Sharyl reviewed God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater or Pearls Before Swine by Kurt Vonnegut (Henry Holt Classic)
Review of 'God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, or Pearls before Swine' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book was a LOT of fun to read--laugh-out-loud funny! Vonnegut always pokes fun at human nature, and this novel focuses on a family with an obscene amount of inherited wealth, the Rosewater Foundation. Elliot Rosewater is the head of the foundation, and he has a heart of gold--and is considered insane by the rest of his family, and at least very unusual by others. It's a parody of society's attitudes towards money: those who have it, and those who don't. Oh, and a character from Slaughterhouse Five makes a reappearance:)
