Summary: Again excellent. You must not miss reading this book.
Review: I think, that in writing this book, Vonnegut expresses himself as a pure genius, with his genius characters and plot structure in the book. His creation of the character of Bokonon and the religion of Bokononism, and also the moral of the story makes this book immortal.

Summary: an amazing foray into satirical literature
Review: cat's cradle... a completely warped reality packed into a rather small novel. out of all of vonnegut's novels, this one truly blows the mind. it's one of the few books that fully utilizes vonnegut's witty and excellent satire to poignantly reveal things about humanity and religion and government that one only suspects. this is a true literary masterpiece... it resides in my list of favorite books of all time. the ending is vaguely disturbing and absurdist... it's just really frickin' great. everyone should read this book.

Summary: V's High School Effort?
Review: I was begged to read Vonnegut. Bland mysticism; dozens of convenient chance meetings, storylines which drop off the face of the earth; this was cheep! Please don't compare to Heller.

Summary: One of the most powerful books I've read
Review: I spend a lot of time reading, being in college. And I must say, that this book was one of the most powerfully disturbing books I've read in a long time. I highly recommend this book to everyone who's ever had the slightest inkling about the future of the world...this book might just keep you up at night...

Summary: Religion based on lies
Review: In this novel, one is faced with the most telling and wonderful ideas of humanity. The way Vonnegut touches on every aspect of history and renders it bluntly and humorously is just one amazing aspect of his work. This novel, for me, felt like more of a "story" in constrast to his other novels. It's nonetheless witty, thought provoking and intelligent. It clearly shows Vonnegut's genius to criticize humanity and yet not make the reader feel like he's only contributing to the problem. A most read for anyone who needs to think about everything.

Summary: Heavy on Expectation...Low on Delivery
Review: "el Stinko Award" Pointless really. Vonnegut should have taken some ice-nine before he wrote it.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: THe was one of the Craziest Books I ever read. Some people may be offended or they may start a Bokonon cult. THis was a very enjoyable book all in all.

Summary: Bokonon Reigns Above All
Review: I have just finished reading Cat's Cradle for the second time. I found it un-controllably witty, funny and highly entertaining. The religion based on lies is ingenious. Vonnegut's satire is thought provoking. He really makes you think, about religion, and life, and how it will all end.
Rating:
Summary: Even funnier the second time.
Review: I first read this over 25 years ago, and I loved it. Having just finished it again, it is even better the second time. I highly recommend everyone who works in the defense industry or is technically oriented read this book.

Summary: Religion is whacked, and humans are too whacked for science.
Review: One of the top three Vonnegut novels, in my opinion, Cat's Cradle lampoons religion, as the pack of lies that it invariable must be, while demonstrating that humans aren't responsible enough to play with the nitty gritty of reality.Religion and the truth are mutually exclusive. Scientific inquiry will find it, but the implied conclusion is that it's not worth searching for in the first place.
