Cat's Cradle Book Review

His world view has always seemed to me to be without illusion though sometimes lacking in joy or hope.

Cat's cradle book review. Review Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. Cats Cradle is a short book unhindered by lengthy exposition or world building there is no wasted space at all and the rich intelligent dialogue combined with brief chapters means that many people could read this in one or two sittings. Its a classic and Im a bit embarrassed that I had never read it until now.

It is somewhat amusing in a wry way and quite enjoyable. The payoff is usually in terms of world-building but Cats Cradles world is ridiculous and constantly absurd emphasizing its bizarreness. Start your review of Kurt Vonneguts Cats Cradle Modern Critical Interpretations Write a review.

Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Let me start off by saying that Cats Cradle was a good book but super weird. Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut In my quest to read all of Vonneguts works in the order they were written my next stop on the ride was Cats Cradle. Cats Cradle starts out with our narrator Jonah working on a book about Felix Hoenikker a fictional scientist and equally the fictional father of the atomic bomb.

God playfully sends out His creation to follow endless rabbit trails. There is no world-building going on and so I dont feel like I bought into it as a reader and thus the invented words were just annoying. First published 1963 Vonnegut is not for everyone and I suspect many would find him far too cynical to truly enjoy.
