This is the third Vonnegut novel I've read (alongwith "Cat's Cradle" and "Breakfast of Champions"), and again, Vonnegut strikes gold. "Sirens" is a grand metaphor for organized religion, and even When it all works out really well (all of Earth is unified, and people accentuate Their weaknesses if They are talented), somebody must get used or abused in order for it to work (Those people here being Malachi Constant and Mrs. Rumfoord). Again, Vonnegut uses language did A Child Could understand to create powerful linguistic and philosophical ideas. Compared to the other two Vonnegut books I've read, the writing here is not as concise, Because this is his first novel, and what quietly working on inventing his own "language." Solidly entertaining and meaningful.
