Summary: LEARN HOW TO READ
Review: Several of the reviews I have read on this book portray it as a work of wit without reason. The most significant social statement in this book is it's emphasis on community and our collective lack of (it). Anyone who is not shocked with this work's social accuracy either hasn't read vonnegut before , or is a little wet behind the ears when it comes to life.

Summary: My favorite Vonnegut novel!
Review: Although I feel that Mr. Vonnegut would be appalled (if he even cares), Slapstick is my favorite of all his novels. I've read every single one of them and though I find others to be more brilliant and substantive (i.e. Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions, Slaughterhouse Five), I just have a soft spot for this one. It's funny, observant, and wildly entertaining. The author's preface is even great. I first read this book 12 years ago... I've probably read it about 3 times a year since then.

Summary: Underrated
Review: This may have been Vonnegut's best

Rating:
Summary: Purely Belligerent. Utterly Vulgar, Crass, and Distasteful.
Review: This string of lewd, offensive, scarileges classifies as pure blasphemy. It defied all of the principles of a good Christian up-bringing. I have never seen such outrignt abuse of the English language. It was the most humane novel I've read. I loved it.

Summary: blech. You can only go so far over the top
Review: it's not a good sign that Vonnegut writes that this is one of his most autobiographical and then goes to create on of the most annoyingly self-satisfied characters in any of his stories. Also i don't see the brilliance in all this chaos, and in creating characters who are the most ugly and the most brilliant, etc, like the extremity automatically indicates originality. a poorly articulated politcal fantasy only grates on me more and if I hadn't read jailbird after the one two punch to my intelligence of this book and "breakfast" i may have given up on vonnegut altogether. before I was halfway through i knew I 'd end the book not caring about any of it.

Summary: The beginning of an epoch
Review: The characters were people you felt you truly knew, the plot was the most original I have ever seen, and the writer was of the greatest american writers ever to grace the page with their ink. Vonnegut deserves to be hailed for this, only one of his masterpieces.
