Cat's Cradle

It just might be a good book, very well written, but damn its boring! The main character is interviewing the son of one of the creators of the atom bomb. The story is well told, with some peculiar details that made this scientist come alive.

I did not finish reading the book, although I know that latter the some interesting concepts would come up (the ice 9 military weapon?), but I expect so much more of a science fiction book.

It seems that I do not like the author stories (Sloughterhouse-five). They're porpously ordinary tales of some uncommon event where the sci-fi bit is just a detail. Like the scientist never existed and the ice-9 weapon was never really made.
