I liked this book although it wasn't the type of book I am usually interested in. It had a very overt man vs. machine theme and I thought it was quite predictable... even up to the end when it actually began to climax in the last 50 or so pages. It was one of those books that forces you to think of what would happen if/when machines replace people and how it will isolate/oppress society as a whole. I do think Kurt Vonnegut masters dialogue exceptionally well, and his characters are incredibly well-developed. He posesses an uncanny ability to bring the reader into his characters, enabling them to feel annoyed, sympathise and even loathe certain characters in his book. I would give Vonnegut a 4 for his writing, but the book as a whole a 3.
