Cat's Cradle Book Review
I highly doubt he was a crypto-Catholic.
Cat's cradle book review. It is somewhat amusing in a wry way and quite enjoyable. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers Cats Cradle is one of the twentieth centurys most important worksand Vonnegut at his very best. In the book Cats Cradle Kurt Vonnegut uses discreet humor irony and his own made up religion Bokononism to illustrate how science is.
First published 1963 Vonnegut is not for everyone and I suspect many would find him far too cynical to truly enjoy. In the end Cats Cradle is a highly imaginative work of satire. It requires a lot of understanding of symbolism and good connection skills.
Bokonon finished writing the Books of Bokonon all the while commenting on human stupidity. Review Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. 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.
It was one of his earlier publications iirc. 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. Cats Cradle is a whole new level of weird.
Like the game of cats cradle itself where Newt points out there is no cat and there is no cradle life religion and everything else are false and meaningless. 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. Kurt Vonneguts Cats Cradle God Bless You Mr.
Vonneguts fourth novel is a masterclass in the use of satire and sarcasm to lampoon the most serious of disciplines in such a way as to show their ridiculousness. Review Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Cats Cradle is an irreverent and often highly entertaining fantasy concerning the playful irresponsibility of nuclear scientists.
