The foreword by Vonnegut knocked my socks off and over-set my expectations. I don’t know if I agree with Vonnegut’s note that Lady Luck was kind to the scriptwriters and production. Don’t get me wrong, the photographs are delightful and add a fun texture to Vonengut’s writing that doesn’t exist in his other works. It’s not horrible, but it’s a watered-down mix of all his hits, almost as if you asked AI to make a Vonnegut screenplay. I wish they had more notes about the writing table or general process, but so it goes. It’s pleasant, more than a net neutral after reading, and a cool collector-ish item, but not something I would really recommend to anyone but a die-hard Vonnegut fan. (please don’t see this as Vonnegut slander, I love the man. this is just the La Croix of his writing)
