5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Collection, 27 Feb 2007
By A. Cox (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Kurt Vonnegut has got to be my favourite novelist around. His writing is so unusual, captivating and unique. I've already loved his major books and wanted to read some of his acclaimed short stories. I got this mainly for the 'Welcome to the Monkey House' section which is the first 300 pages and for this alone gets the 5 stars. The short stories are so varse; some science fiction and others traditional love stories, they work so well as a collective. Major highlights are the titled story 'Welcome to the Monkey House' which is strangly beautiful. As well as the interesting 'The Euphio Question' and quite cruel 'All the King's Horses'. The second part is good but i alone recommend anybody to buy it purely for the short stories. An accumulation of old stories that ended up in magazines. Buy this book, you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Weird and wonderful, 8 Sep 2009
Not many writers can vary styles and genres, but this guy pulls it off amazingly from one short story to the next. Interesting and unusual. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for the free thinkers, 7 April 2009
By TheMummy (St Leonards on Sea) - See all my reviews
I read the short story collection 'Welcome to the Monkey House' 30 years or so ago. Since then my original copy has long been lost/borrowed or given away. Several times I bought new copies as gifts. A few years ago wanting to introduce my children to Vonnegut I was devastated to discover that it was out of print. The only copy available to buy anywhere that I could find was in the library of a recently deceased rock star - so it came with a celebrity price tag.

I am telling you to buy a copy now and read it - the stories will stay with you forever, but the book probably won't because you will want to share it with friends and the like minded.

I presume this has been released following the death of Kurt Vonnegut jnr. Who knows how soon before it is out of print again?
