Cat's Cradle
Cat's Cradle | Kanat ADAM
1 post | 4 read
SUMMARY: Cat's Cradle is Kurt Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a midget as the protagonist, a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer, and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers, Cat's Cradle is one of the twentieth century's most important works--and Vonnegut at his very best. "From the Trade Paperback edition."

Was this good? Was this bad? I really don't know what to make of this! It's a cocktail of science fiction, humor, with a dash of historical fiction..all that being said, to me it seemed like a cocktail with an acquired taste..!
Pros: Deadpan humor, crisp, short 'chapters' (longest chapter is 5 page long!), quotable. Cons: ends abruptly; the story does reach a conclusion, but a little character building would have greatly enhanced the book.
