Cat's Cradle is Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a little person as the protagonist; a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer; and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny.

To curate a list of famous American writers who are also considered among the best American authors, a few things count: current ratings for their works, their particular time periods in history, critical reception, their prevalence in the 21st century, and yes, the awards they won. Many of these authors are taught in school today. From Hemingway to Harper Lee, these famous American authors are all worthy of enduring recognition—and a fresh listen!

I nearly returned the book while getting through the first third of the books, and even after that I can't say I was super interested in it. It lacked a lot of Vonnegut's usual charm. The narrator was dull and certainly didn't help. Perhaps in a year or two I'll come back to it again.

Not bad, but my least favorite by Vonnegut.

It's refreshing to hear a story where there is such a great focus on the characters that the plot sneaks up all of a sudden.

This is only the second book of Vonnegut’s I have read/listened to just like Slaughterhouse Five it was a pleasant surprise and pleasure.

Always a surprise
