About the Author
Kurt Vonnegut was a master of contemporary American literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as "a true artist" with Cat's Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, "one of the best living American writers.” Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007.

When beginning to read this book I was a bit confused on who was who and what was exactly going on, but after being persistent and staying with the novel, I finally got into it. It was an amazing story, and it provoked many thoughts. Vonnegut has a way to capture and force you to think about 'out of the box' ideas. To read this book you must be creative...

This is my favorite Vonnegut book. The book makes you think about science, religion and existence.
