Book Reviews of Cat's Cradle: A Novel

Book Review: One hundred stars if I could
Summary: 5 Stars

Wow. Wow! I just finished this spectacular read, and it left me breathless. Multiple times, throughout the book, it had me laughing hysterically so, that I was forced to actually put the book down, and walk away for a few minutes. How hard it was though, indeed! I hardly put this book down, which is a rarity for me.

This was my first Vonnegut read, but it most certainly will NOT be my last! A great place to start if you aren't familiar with his work. Thought-provoking, gently pokes fun at most every topic, and is guaranteed to make you question. Read it, read it, read it!

Summary of Cat's Cradle: A Novel

One of Vonnegut's major works, this is an apocalyptic tale of the planet's ultimate fate, featuring a cast of unlikely heroes.
Cat's Cradle, one of Vonnegut's most entertaining novels, is filled with scientists and G-men and even ordinary folks caught up in the game. These assorted characters chase each other around in search of the world's most important and dangerous substance, a new form of ice that freezes at room temperature. At one time, this novel could probably be found on the bookshelf of every college kid in America; it's still a fabulous read and a great place to start if you're young enough to have missed the first Vonnegut craze.
