They are not the same and if you are unsure what satire is, read anything by Vonnegut, but especially this one. It does have its humorous moments but for the mos... " Read more of this review »

Lettie Prell liked Brad's review of Spook Country: " This has to be the least thrilling thriller I've ever read. I never felt like there were any serious stakes for any of our three protagonists -- unless it was during the incessant tooth brushing scenes. Indeed, all the major characters in Spook Co...

“Care for us! True, indeed! They ne'er cared for us yet: suffer us to famish, and their storehouses crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act established against the rich, and provide more piercing statutes daily to chain up and restrain the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and there's all the love they bear us.”
― William Shakespeare, Coriolanus
