    <body><![CDATA[Well, dare I say that I've found my least favorite Vonnegut book? I'm 13 books into his works, so I'll call myself a pretty certified judge. That being said, I'm a cynical 16 year old, so I suppose I suffer from the biases associated.<br/><br/>ANYWAY, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater is excessively dr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40862313">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Easily one of my favorites of Vonnegut, up there with Breakfast of Champions. It is a story about capitalism, neurosis, and Kilgore Trout. Like all of his books, it is kind of hard to sum up the story exactly, but to put it one way, it really captures the sick, American thoughtlines in a satiric way...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47618557">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another Vonnegut re-read.  Rosewater County, Indiana...hmmm.  Vonnegut's post-industrial rustbelt wasteland scenario is a tad too much like Orwell's Proles vs. Apparatchniks.  It just doesn't really work this way...I say this after 16 years working at a factory in the lovely Waynedale part of Fort W...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57947834">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Perhaps not Vonnegut at his rollicking best, but still freaking genius.  You can read an entire book for his treatment of a single character, some forgotten character who calls a benevolent madman in the middle of the night for a little sip of warm humanity.]]></body>
