Summary: Cat's Cradle revisited
Review: I picked up this book because I hadn't read Vonnegut since high school. The best way I can think of to describe reading this is to compare it to train-hopping, destination unknown. It's a bit quirky, but definitely most entertaining and illustrates man's inability to control technology. I found the beginning slightly slow, but the story picks up momentum. By the end, you're flipping the pages faster and faster trying to figure out where you're going to land.

Summary: Vonnigut's funniest and most intelligent book
Review: I first read Cat's Cradle on trip through Illinois heading for Chicago. I started laughing out loud almost immediately and the others in the car had to hear the 'funny part'. Soon I was reading the whole book out loud and all of us were laughing our heads off constantly. This remains for me the best example of Vonnegut's use of black humor to make a serious point. The characters and plot line are as original as anything he ever wrote and the humor is still as fresh as ever. This is wonderful, hard edged writing, a kind of modern day Jonathan Swift tale that mingles science, religion, philosophy, political upheaval and human nature at its most extreme. The book keeps us laughing and leaves us thinking.

Summary: Vonnegut's finest work
Review: I became an instant fan of Vonnegut when I read this book. This is certainly the best of all his novels. His imagination is astounding; not only does he write better science fiction than most "real" science fiction writers, but he also invents a believable new religion (with a whole new vocabulary) and peppers the book with dark comedy so black it makes the movie "Dr. Strangelove" look cheerful. This is not a book to read when you're depressed. However, it is the perfect statement of Vonnegut's manic-depressive genius.

Summary: VONNEGUT IS ONE OF AMERICA'S FINEST WRITERS
Review: CAT'S CRADLE is categorically brilliant, a magnificent piece of fiction, and Vonnegut is enormously talented. CRADLE is doubtless one of the most imaginative, thought-provoking, and entertaining books I've ever had the immense pleasure of reading. I whole-heartedly recommend it to readers of all ages and backgrounds.
