I can't add much to that sinopsis, i totally agree. I had a vonnegut overdose lately and i'm on abstinence syndrome right now, i don't know what to read next. Vonnegut is allways brilliantly satiric, and i found this book hilarious, and made me think with his points of view about world, that ones he drops like there were a simple hello and had a whole philosophy behind. A must read!

Just be prepared for a rather depressing read that begs to be analyzed in multiple ways.

If you don't watch or read satire already, or if you aren't open to reading a rambling dialogue from an older and cynical man, I do think Vonnegut might miss the mark with you sometimes.(less)
