He is the most humane of crotchety old farts, as he might describe himself....he will be sorely missed.” see full review » see other reviews »

  “One of those Vonnegut memoir-rambles with the familiar motifs: people are vengeful, stupid jerks, WWII, his odd Indianpolis family, etc. Hit or miss but in an enjoyable fashion: I laughed aloud a few times.”

  “A "sequel" to Palm Sunday, this collection contains a mixture of autobiographical data and opinion pieces...which fans of Vonnegut know are always entertaining.”

  “As an autobiographical miscellany, this book is a little unsatisfactory aesthetically. There is some very good material in this however--about mental illness, addiction. Vonnegut is a little hard to peg philosophically/religiously. Albeit, quite probably atheist, he is not scornful of everything religious.”
