Cat's Cradle Book Review
Looking for a book full of truth that is actually full of shameless lies.
Cat's cradle book review. I think you nailed the insights of the book and gave a great review. It requires a lot of understanding of symbolism and good connection skills. God playfully sends out His creation to follow endless rabbit trails.
As you are reading it doesnt take long to start reflecting on life hope and the future. I have the exact copy that I read when I was a high schooler complete with my underlined text. 5 chips of ice-nine out of 5.
Cats Cradle Kurt Vonnegut - Book Review - YouTube. Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Rosewater and Breakfast of Champions Oct 102015 In the wake of among other things several mass shootings that have paralyzed the nation one could reasonably argue that there is little to laugh about in the current political and social climate.
Its a classic and Im a bit embarrassed that I had never read it until now. Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut In my quest to read all of Vonneguts works in the order they were written my next stop on the ride was Cats Cradle. Cats Cradle is a whole new level of weird.
In Cats Cradle I think Vonneguts own perceived purpose as a writer bleed through to the pages more than in his other novels. I mean I guess its kinda funny but not like Im laughing or anything. 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.
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 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. To this day I still do not understand the deep meaning and symbolism behind it.
