Galapagos-Kurt Vonnegut

Wanting to start reading Vonnegut, I grabbed Galapagos from the Chapters near my house.

Bad choice?


It's sort of  confusing when every stinking book of his that hey have all have the words "HIS BEST WORK" on the back.

First half of Cat's Cradle is hilarious. I highly recommend you read it, but keep in mind that it quickly becomes shit by the point he gets to the island. The reason for such a decline in quality must obviously be that it was his early work, if not first (I forgot what exactly). Still a worthwhile read, I'm sure.

I also read a bit of Slaughterhouse 5, it was shit. Breakfast of Champions was equally worthless. Haven't read anything else by him; I can believe these two are his worst novels, especially judging by how all the "professional critics" adore them so much.
