Very funny, interesting read. Most of the character conflict is kind of dull though, also missing those sci fi elements from other Vonnegut titles.
This is my first Vonnegut novel. I've been meaning to read his work for years, as I'm frequently getting recc'd his stuff. For whatever reason, I've always been convinced that he wouldn't live up. This book proves that he does. The circular storytelling is such and interesting and perfect way for this story to be told. An inspiration.
Abandoning at 20%. The narrative style refuses to stick. May give it a shot later.
