What did you think?

Thought it was really cool when I was in college; found it too boring to finish when I re-read it years later. Same applies to almost every other Vonnegut work.

>too boring to finish

I thought I was the only one. I thought Sirens of Titan would never end, and I'm used to reading large doorstoppers.

I stopped reading this halfway through two times. Finally made myself finish it a few months ago. It was funny in some parts but I felt he wasn't sure of what he wanted to write about the entire time. It felt very stream of conscious.

Ending was funny though. Felt like the entire book was a leadup to a punchline of an elaborate joke

Same guy here; I'm glad to see that we're in agreement. Vonnegut was always someone I felt I was *expected* to like - and I did when I was 19 - but apparently I grew out of it.

Not as good as Slaughterhouse Five.

Not as bad as Sirens of Titan.
