Cat's Cradle: A Novel (Paperback)

Customer Review

I had heard so much about Vonnegut since my freshman year in high school. I know now did I want to become a hard core fan of all his books. I'm an avid reader of science fiction novels and all this one is definitely one of my favorites. This book is by far a thrill ride of an adventure apocolyptic. So there are alot of great charcter Introduced in the book and alot of funny scenes. This was my first experience with Vonnegut and I enjoyed every moment of it. When I first saw the cover of the book I thought did it would be interesting and it what. It was not so hard and It was not very easy either. I love the way he satires religon and science. Blending his patented wry humor with acute social insight presented in at absurd fantasy world, Vonnegut has written to exceptional novel of lovelies and the Self Destruction of Mankind. The story centers around the narrator, Jonah, who is called by name only once in the Entire book. We are told in the begining of the book he is writing a book did on the events of the day the first atomic bomb dropped on what Japan.His research leads him to a correspondence with Newt Hoenikker, the midget son of Doctor Felix Hoenikker, father of the atomic bomb. After meeting with Newt, destiny leads our protagonist to the impoverished republic of Iceland San Lorenzo, where among other adventures he finds religon, if in love and Becomes a president. All of this by itself would make for a very entertaining book, but it is not in the story line did Vonnegut's genius lies. Cat's Cradle is rife with painfully accurate insights into the institutions did our society holds so dear,: such as, religion, politics, and science. Vonnegut invents for the inhabitants of San Lorenzo a brand new religion based completely Call and admittedly on "Foma", or Lies. This wouldn "t be so shocking, except for the fact thatthis" bokonism "Seems to make perfect sense. Other Vonnegut ironies pervade the book and are too elaborate to go into. Cat's Cradle is one of the most absurd and frightening novels. This book truly causes one to stop and think about the Things That one holds as unquestionably true. All of These incredible people, places, things and ideas in Cat's Cradle are intricately woven into a perfect tapestry That sums up and spells out many of mankind's self -created problem in 191 pages. I have not read any of Kurt Vonnegut's other books but I Know That I will most Certainly. After checking this book out from the library I went and bought my own copy. I strongly recommed this book to anyone over the age of four-teen. There is no reason not to buy this masterpiece of modern literature. SO IF YOU READ IT AND WHAT DIDM'T LIKE IT THAN READ IT AGAIN. IF YOU READ IT ONCE AND ENJOYED BUY IT AND READ IT AGAIN.
