    <![CDATA[WATCH OUT FOR LIFE.  IT'LL GET YA'!<br/><br/>In The euphoria of colossal innocense, he shot a bullet in the air.  By the time it fell to earth, twelve year old Rudy Waltz was condemned as a double murderer, comitted to care for his ruined parents - hi mother, whose ultimate fate rested on a radioactive mantlepiece, and his father, who - in his salad days - had found his best and only friend in a hapless young art student, Adolph Hitler.  It was an odd beginning, if not an auspicious one.  What can you expect when you're born in an Ohio City detined to be depopulated by a &quot;friendly&quot; neutron bomb?  And - after all - it was only the beginning.  As for the rest, as Rudy, forever to be known as... Deadeye Dick.]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>Deadeye Dick </em>is Vonnegut's funny, chillingly satirical look at the death of innocence. Amid a true Vonnegutian host of horrors—a double murder, a fatal dose of radioactivity, a decapitation, an annihilation of a city by a neutron bomb—Rudy Waltz, a.k.a. Deadeye Dick, takes us along on a zany search for absolution and happiness. Here is a tale of crime and punishment that makes us rethink what we believe and who we say we are.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Kurt Vonnegut is one of my favorite writers and I just did a class about his voice and his advice to writers. I got a chance to pull out some of his novels and look over them again. This is probably my favorite of all his books. I know &quot;Slaughter House Five&quot; is his most famous, but I think...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44178499">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[WATCH OUT FOR LIFE.  IT'LL GET YA'!<br/><br/>In The euphoria of colossal innocense, he shot a bullet in the air.  By the time it fell to earth, twelve year old Rudy Waltz was condemned as a double murderer, comitted to care for his ruined parents - hi mother, whose ultimate fate rested on a radioactive mantlepiece, and his father, who - in his salad days - had found his best and only friend in a hapless young art student, Adolph Hitler.  It was an odd beginning, if not an auspicious one.  What can you expect when you're born in an Ohio City detined to be depopulated by a &quot;friendly&quot; neutron bomb?  And - after all - it was only the beginning.  As for the rest, as Rudy, forever to be known as... Deadeye Dick.]]>

It was just a middle-of-the-road story to me, that didn't really bring any emotion out one way or the other.
