I will commit literary heresy by stating outright that Kurt Vonnegut badly overrated. While it is tempting to go to an extreme whenever I see somebody or some thing being over-praised and declare it dreadful (as so many people do), I'll grant that Vonnegut is not dreadful. But he's not particularly good either. If you really must read Vonnegut I suggest doing what I did, find some ancient cheap omnibus collection used. Or go to the library.

In this book so far I have read about how Yon Yonson is traveling on a journey to write a book about his war experience and encounters the Trafimaldions and talks to them while everyone else thinks he is crazy. The Trafimaldions interact with Yon as he writes his book.

I know I got on a Vonnegut kick and read everything I could find of his . . . and kept up with his communiques over the years . . . anyway, probably read all of these, but don't remember stuff from Player Piano and Mother NIght.

Slaughterhouse five is a novel that takes the reader though a lot of time traveling between present and future time. The novel is about trying to capture the picture of a war the author had lived through.

I'd give if five stars, but here's the thing: I really like Vonnegut's later novels better. These appealed to me very strongly in high school (except Mother Night) but the ones I like best now are Galápagos and Bluebeard. Over the years my affection for Mother Night has grown; I've really come to appreciate the ambiguity.
