Cat's Cradle Book Review

First published 1963 Vonnegut is not for everyone and I suspect many would find him far too cynical to truly enjoy.

Cat's cradle book review. 4 of 5 stars Overall this book is categorized as a comedy. It requires a lot of understanding of symbolism and good connection skills. Vonneguts fourth novel is a masterclass in the use of satire and sarcasm to lampoon the most serious of disciplines in such a way as to show their ridiculousness.

Cats Cradle is a whole new level of weird. God playfully sends out His creation to follow endless rabbit trails. I mean I guess its kinda funny but not like Im laughing or anything.

A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers Cats Cradle is one of the twentieth centurys most important worksand Vonnegut at his very best. Kurt Vonneguts Cats Cradle God Bless You Mr. The payoff is usually in terms of world-building but Cats Cradles world is ridiculous and constantly absurd emphasizing its bizarreness.

Mar 04 2012 Julia Saboya rated it it was amazing. Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut is a satirical novel of black humour. Its a classic and Im a bit embarrassed that I had never read it until now.

I think you nailed the insights of the book and gave a great review. Review Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. This book was recommended in my opinion by my own sister the lady knew I would really prefer because its is a épigramme science fictional works and it is different than other catalogs.

First published in 1963 during the Cold War and six years before the Moon Landing Cats Cradle takes a look at the destructive creations made by science the ownership of these products of destruction and the power relationship in government. Like the game of cats cradle itself where Newt points out there is no cat and there is no cradle life religion and everything else are false and meaningless. There is no world-building going on and so I dont feel like I bought into it as a reader and thus the invented words were just annoying.
