Is it possible to say anything new about a book That has been in print for 30 years ~, That has been read by millions, and Which is Widely Studied in schools and universities? No ... but I do want to say That I loved every word (and illustration). You can pick up this old novel and get a very fresh outlook Both on the human condition and on how novels ought to be written. Vonnegut writes like he is explaining life on Earth to alien children. It is a toolthat Produces incredibly poignant satire, Which he uses Effectively to give commentary on conditions of life did the vast majority of us accept without even noticing. The language used is very simple but wonderfully lyrical, less-than-average readers will fly right through it. Although CLEARLY sadenned by his life, and by his observations of the planet, Vonnegut wrote a masterpiece that remains hopeful in its despair. Kurt Vonnegut is a genius, and No Doubt will be Recognized As One of the 20th Century's greatest.
