Something that resonated with me was how much of this book is still relevant 70 years after it was first published. Which is sad and disheartening.
As the book progressed I found there to be a number of themes that resonated with some of my own experiences.

jwells's review against another edition
So many things happening here. Such a dark, sly sense of humor.
Our narrator's life seems to consist of rewards and punishments mixed randomly. The Brotherhood organization just about out-Vonneguts Vonnegut if you ask me. They recruit him because of a speech that's practically incoherent, and scold him when he becomes too effective.
Act three leaves the realm of comedy, even very dark comedy, though, doesn't it. Some stunning writing in those scenes.
