Very postmodern. So postmodern you'll probably gag. But if you like Vonnegut, and I do, then this novel is just more proof of his brilliance. It's time travel, but backwards, and you can't change anything. It's ten years of reruns. And Vonnegut's there, and Kilgore Trout, and you've got no idea where the story ends and the autobiography begins, but this is a damned good book -- if you like Vonnegut.
If you don't like Vonnegut then you'll probably want to drop-kick this across the room, and if you haven't read him before, this is not the place to start. Vonnegut called it his last novel and it's really the perfect cap to his career, like crawling inside his mind and looking back on all the worlds he created, and lived in.
Five stars. One of those books you kind of clutch to your chest after you're finished reading. At least, I did. Will definitely read it again.
