Again, Vonnegut has come up with a work of literature, indeed leaves the reader (or at least me) breathless and hungry for more of his brilliant work. In all honesty, the book did loose something partway through, and right up until the end I would have rated it only about a 3-1 / 2. But the ending of this book (as with Mother Night and other Vonnegut novels) was worth the Entire book. The secret in the potato barn was incredible; It was everything I'd thought it would be, and more. A superb book, definitely worth reading. It therefore made me realize (since this what one of the first books I'd read Vonnegut) how interconnected His books really are; Rabo dates back to "Breakfast of Champions," where the reader is almost compelled to dislike him. HOWEVER, during the course of this book, not only did I end up liking Rabo, I found myself cheering for him, and even understanding him. A must-read for any Vonnegut fan, and even for Those Who Do not Have a Vonnegut fetish like I DO. Brilliant.
