Cat's Cradle Book Review
I have the exact copy that I read when I was a high schooler complete with my underlined text.
Cat's cradle book review. Cats Cradle is an irreverent and often highly entertaining fantasy concerning the playful irresponsibility of nuclear scientists. It was one of his earlier publications iirc. Review Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.
However as the narrators mind changes about whether hes going to actually write this book or not the story itself changes. Cats Cradle offers an interesting analysis of religion through Bokononism in which believers maintain that they are all instruments of Gods Will whether they wish to be or not. I think you nailed the insights of the book and gave a great review.
5 chips of ice-nine out of 5. Looking for a book full of truth that is actually full of shameless lies. The payoff is usually in terms of world-building but Cats Cradles world is ridiculous and constantly absurd emphasizing its bizarreness.
Review Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. God playfully sends out His creation to follow endless rabbit trails. It requires a lot of understanding of symbolism and good connection skills.
While the plot is entertaining and the ideas worth contemplating it was really Kurts voice that propelled me through the story. In the end Cats Cradle is a highly imaginative work of satire. It is somewhat amusing in a wry way and quite enjoyable.
First published 1963 Vonnegut is not for everyone and I suspect many would find him far too cynical to truly enjoy. I mean I guess its kinda funny but not like Im laughing or anything. Mar 04 2012 Julia Saboya rated it it was amazing.
