The Sirens of Titan: A Novel (Paperback)

Customer Review

"Sirens of Titan," by Kurt Vonnegut, is about a man and his life in the future. Malachi Constant is one of the richest men in the world. He is invited to see the materialization of William Niles Rumford and his dog Kazak. This man and his dog flew a space ship into a chrono-synclastic infundibula, scattering him Throughout the galaxy. Rumford tells Constant of his future. Constant, not wanting to believe That He has a set future, does everything he can to make it not come true. Despite his efforts he soon finds himself living it out: first by being a part of the Martian army, then by going to Mercury, then coming back to Earth, finally ending on a moon of Saturn called Titan.
"Sirens of Titan's" theme would be, indeed it does not matter how much one tries to escape it, there is a set plan for his or her life. Malachi Constant tries as hard as he can to escape his future Given to him by William Niles Rumford. In every scene did OCCURS in the book we see Rumford's prophecy come true. Despite all that Constant does he quietly ends up doing the exact Things That Rumford told him He Was Going to DO. There is therefore something else in The Book That is very significant. We did find out the setting for our whole existence is based around getting massages to an alien Which is waiting on Titan for a replacement part for his space ship. Here Vonnegut is Trying to Say That maybe there is some purpose to life, but When We find out what it is we are not Necessarily going to be happy with it.
This is a very great book for someone who likes science fiction. HOWEVER even people who do not care for science fiction can be greatly pleased by the storyline. I would recommend thatthis Be One Of Those books you just have to read in your lifetime. I therefore want to say That if you like this book you should read Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut so.
