This book (read: anthology) definitely reads more as early Vonnegut, but like his earlier stories there’s a charming wit and sense of balance. If anyone’s keeping track, my favourites were ‘Spoils’, ‘The Unicorn Trap’ and ‘Armageddon in Retrospect’.
This is a relatively quick, relatively easy read. I woukd definitely recommend it!

I forgot how much I love Kurt Vonnegut's writing. This book was a great way to re-connect. Buy it. Read it. Love it.

This is Vonnegut's last work. After reading this, I officially (and sadly) had to say good bye. I savored every page of this book -- from the illustrations to the short stories and speeches. "The Commander's Desk" is my favorite here.
