    Synopsis
    "A free-wheeling vehicle . . . an unforgettable ride!"-- The New York Times Cat's Cradle is Kurt Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a midget 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. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers, Cat's Cradle is one of the twentieth century's most important works--and Vonnegut at his very best.

      Great seller! Had a question about two items I wanted to purchase. Sent an email to seller at 8:35 pm, they answered me an hour later the same evening! Prompt shipping, secure packaging, very reasonable and polite to deal with. Items were in even better condition than described on seller listing. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this seller again. Most highly recommended!!

      These books arrived quickly, and just as described. They are actually in decent condition for their age. The seller packed them tightly to protect them, which I was thankful for. This is about what I expected to pay, so I felt like the value was good. Oh, and all, the experience with the seller was very positive.

      This coat matches description and arrived 24 hours after purchase- so fast. Seller at first didn't respond to questions but a few days later responded very promptly and was very understanding and considerate towards me in case I wanted to cancel purchase since I hadn't heard back. I really appreciated that. I am happy with purchase and seller.

      An apocalyptic burlesque, this is Vonnegut at his best!

      The first Vonnegut book I read, and my favorite book of all time. I read it at least once a year (for my birthday). This end-of-the-world farce surpasses Dr. Strangelove! The narrator who calls himself Jonah (although he admits his name is John) is writing a book about the day the A-bomb was dropped on hiroshima. While interviewing people who were involved with the creation of the bomb, he encounters the bizarre Hoenikker family. Pursuing his story takes him from the "Research Laboratory" in Ithaca, NY (where he learns about the "solution to mud"), to the unstable caribbean dictatorship of San Lorenzo. Along the way he "finds religion" in the form of Bokononism, the outlawed religion of San Lorenzo, based upon "harmless lies" as recorded in the "Books of Bokonon," that contain a collection ...

    • Great Read!

      Vonnegut was so good… observes every anomaly in the human experience and asks us to reevaluate everything we take for granted.
