I find Vonneguts style to be a little discombobulating. I generally prefer linear stories, but do find his way of story telling interesting and enjoyable.

A strange and imaginative book. Vonnegut’s unique writing and storytelling is love/hate. Darkly humorous and satirical. The plot can be hard to follow at times because KV writes so erratically but it somehow works and comes together well. A pretty quick read.
