Summary: Another remarkable venture by one of the masters of satire.
Review: Though this is the most humorless of the Vonnegut novels I've read, I also believe it makes a rather profound statement about the true meanings of good and evil. Though this is only my interpretation, I believe this novel is a statement against those who would put the nature of right and wrong in rigid, unnegotiable divisions. It encourages the reader to take a moment and think before judging a situation solely on personal biases. A quote from this book that particularly struck me, and I believe reflects the theme of the novel is this: "Say what you want about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile!" I hesitate to give this book five stars only because I reserve that rating only for books that leave me with the feeling that I won't read something that good for quite awhile. Nonetheless, an excellent book that has my recomendation.

Summary: Another Great One By Vonnegut
Review: Vonnegut did an excellent job in this story. There wasn't any science fiction in this book like many of his others, but the character Howard Campbell was great. The story has great twists to it and it makes for quick reading. I had a hard trying to put this one down, and I think it is a must read for any Vonnegut fan.

Summary: Another Excellent Book
Review: Vonnegut starts out this book with a warning : "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." This story follows the life of an American playwright, Howard W. Campbell Jr., who happens to live in Germany during the Nazi regime. He is confronted by the Americans to work as a spy, sending secret messages through a radio broadcast. He agrees to this but at the same time his broadcasts are filled with propaganda, all in favor of Hitler and his actions. True to Vonnegut's style, the plot gets more and more twisted as the story goes on, ending with Campbell in an Israeli prison. This was a wonderfully well written novel with action and intrigue that made it hard to put down! Each time I finish one of Vonnegut's novels, I find myself longing to head back to the library to find another one.
