Cat's Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut

3/5

I wanted to really like this book, but I didn't. Not to say it was bad, it wasn't.  Vonnegut's dark humor and quick wit are very much present. The short chapters succeeded both in making the book fast to read, and a bit too easy to set aside.  Normally I appreciate dark humor and satire, but this one was a bit over the top and I felt more pessimism than was exactly good. The satire and absurdity of it all are definitely driven home.  This is definitely not a "feel good" story and at times I had trouble picking it back up.
