This book is kind of part memoir and fiction. Vonnegut includes a lot of personal events and people into the book. I really enjoyed it and in true Vonnwgut fashion I was laughing at things that are not really funny or should be laughed at. I would not read this book unless you have read a few of his previous works because he alludes to them throughout the book.
Great read for any Vonnegut fan.
