I laughed and I cried, all in convenient bite-sized increments!
Kurt Vonnegut is the only author where, when I finish his books, I say "How neat." & "What was that" in equal measure.
Thoroughly brilliant. Many of these shorts are so emotionally engaging I feel the need to pause and recover before starting the next.
A really good collection of Kurt Vonnegut's short stories. I enjoyed reading them all.
