What are readers saying about Cat's Cradle: A Novel?

The only Vonnegut novel I bothered to read, for obvious reasons (HINT: I'm a cat). It was really great I thought. But didn't have as many cats as I thought it would. Still at least he mention them in the title, that's something I guess. I wish he had mentioned us in Slaughterhouse 5, because I really actually want to read that one. However my rampant egomania about being a cat prohibits me from reading anything that doesn't promise to mention cats at least once.

Twisted and brilliant, VERY hard to follow if your brain doesn't like twisting itself in knots. (And who doesn't like that, I ask you?) Vintage Vonnegut.

Easily one of Mr. Vonnegut's most straightforward novels which, considering the book deals with a global apocalypse, loss, family, religion and sex each in their own separate story lines, is especially impressive. If I didn't hate feet so much I'd be a Bokononist.

Took me 5 years as a preteen to read it. Very good but you need to be an adult to understand it.

Vonnegut always surprises me for his insights on humans.

I listened to the book and the plot did not hold together for me. Its very random and beat nick. The book is all salad and no steak. But this book is still worth your read, because you will approach it from a completely different angle than I did. Its a piece of art I didn't care for, but you might love it!

Decent book. I read this after Sirens of Titan, I've gotta say that I respect the ability to change styles so nicely without losing his very matter-of-fact, almost sardonic, way of presenting things. That said, I think this fell flat for me. Either nothing much happens, or too much happens without any substance behind it. This whole idea of Bokonism was interesting, maybe even intriguing, and I think that one quote sums the book up for me: "Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way". I resent everyone who didn't read this book.
