If you only read one book by Vonnegut... - By: vfhackenbacker, 16 May 2003
This is Vonnegut's best book. (Ignore alll the hype surrounding "Slaughterhouse Five", & you won't be disappointed.) There are more quotable lines here than in anything except Hamlet. It will make you laugh a lot - & cry too, very possibly. More than thirty years after I first read it, I still keep coming back. And I know parts of it by heart (without necessarily being word perfect!) It begins "A sum of money is a leading character in this story about human beings, just as a sum of honey might be a leading character in a story about bees..."
whats up with eliot - By: , 15 Oct 2001
eliot, the millionaire protagonist of Vonegut's fifth satire, is forever striving to clense, or redeem himself of accidentaly killing three innocent firemen in battle.
A Quiet Masterpiece - By: , 05 Oct 1999
Vonnegut is less appreciated than he should be, that goes without saying. This is not one of his most famous books, but in its quiet modest way is nevertheless a masterpiece. Terrifying in its depiction of an America at odds with itself, desperately trying to (re)discover the true values of love, family & caring for one another... Read it! Then join the Volunteer Fire Department.... :)
