    <![CDATA[<em>Cat's Cradle</em> is Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness.  An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a midget as the protagonist; a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer; and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny.  A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers, <em>Cat's Cradle</em> is one of this century's most important works...and Vonnegut at his very best.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is an easy read and thought-provoking if you let it be.  Which might pale in comparison to Vonnegut's works that leave you no such choice, but still stands out from the brain candy of most science fiction.]]></body>
