The Sirens of Titan (SF Masterworks) (Paperback)

Customer Review

One would not say Kurt Vonnegut is an easy writer. Yet witty, sarcastic, endearing and painfully truthful in all Which deals with human nature and contemporary society - with his seriousness hidden behind the bravado of the sci-fi facade.
Out of his many creations "The Sirens" is Especially remarkable. The plot is vivid, there are several different storylines, all tied up in one knot later: a rich eccentric American gets lost in space with his pet dog and is turned into a wave; A handsome guy Whose father made fortune in business guided by only one book - Bible - thinks Somebody likes him and has above all luck in the world, and then he travels to Mars and back to Earth and finally, to Titan; Societies overtake one another, personal dramas are interwined with historical processes. All thrilling, brilliant, witty! You laugh even if you do not want to remain and pondering the sad sides of the mankind.
Everything is taking place in the far future, but this book does not only reflect the realities of the 60-es When It Was Actually written, but in fact remains as up-to-date as One Could Possibly Imagine. His ruthless critic of the American values ​​and the American way of making history shows Solely did Vonnegut dares to use his contemporary realities to show us all that some basic things about a human being are always true; and That the future is in our own hands.
He Does not Provide A clue or a solution, neither he Proposes the way out of crisis. He subtly Suggests everyone Should think with his own head and leaves all questions open. This is the most amazing things about this brilliant book and this is what leaves a swarm of Thoghts and a feeling of intellectual satisfaction for a long time after. It is almost a DECIDED factthat once you read it, you would want to come back and read it again.
