Review: Cat's Cradle


Cat's Cradle
Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I read the Vonnegut titles voraciously over two decades ago as a much younger man. Now, slowly after Vonnegut's passing, I have been revisiting the titles slower and with more experience. Cat's Cardle is an especially rich title for me: ice-nine, granfalloons (where are you Ernie Douglas?), Bokononism, ...

The indictements of religion, war, weapons of mass destruction and the stoic "and so it goes" acceptances is classic Vonnegut. I will read this one, again.
