Cat's Cradle Book Review
I think you nailed the insights of the book and gave a great review.
Cat's cradle book review. In the end Cats Cradle is a highly imaginative work of satire. 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. 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.
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 Jr. Review Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
While the plot is entertaining and the ideas worth contemplating it was really Kurts voice that propelled me through the story. God playfully sends out His creation to follow endless rabbit trails. 5 chips of ice-nine out of 5.
As you are reading it doesnt take long to start reflecting on life hope and the future. 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.
First published in 1963 during the Cold War and six years before the Moon Landing Cats Cradle takes a look at the destructive creations made by science the ownership of these products of destruction and the power relationship in government. Cats Cradle is only for the light of heart and those who will see the humor present in the terrible events and lively people described within. I am used to weird books as a whole.
Review Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Its a classic and Im a bit embarrassed that I had never read it until now.
