5.0 out of 5 stars If you only read one book by Vonnegut..., 16 May 2003
This review is from: God Bless You, Mr.Rosewater (Paperback)
This is Vonnegut's best book. (Ignore all the hype surrounding "Slaughterhouse Five", and you won't be disappointed.) There are more quotable lines here than in anything except Hamlet. It will make you laugh a lot - and cry too, very possibly. More than thirty years after I first read it, I still keep coming back. And I know parts of it by heart (without necessarily being word perfect!) It begins "A sum of money is a leading character in this story about human beings, just as a sum of honey might be a leading character in a story about bees..."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Quiet Masterpiece, 5 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: God Bless You, Mr.Rosewater (Paperback)
Vonnegut is less appreciated than he should be, that goes without saying. This is not one of his most famous books, but in its quiet modest way is nevertheless a masterpiece. Terrifying in its depiction of an America at odds with itself, desperately trying to (re)discover the true values of love, family and caring for one another... Read it! Then join the Volunteer Fire Department.... :)
