Cat's Cradle Book Review
John wrote this narrative Cats Cradle as a record of what had occurred while Newt painted Hazel sewed Lowe cooked and Frank studied ants.
Cat's cradle book review. The writer of Cats Cradle divided the book into 127 chapters it of each chapter is significant to each from the paragraphs which come within the chapter. 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. Its a classic and Im a bit embarrassed that I had never read it until now.
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 only for the light of heart and those who will see the humor present in the terrible events and lively people described within. God playfully sends out His creation to follow endless rabbit trails.
His world view has always seemed to me to be without illusion though sometimes lacking in joy or hope. The payoff is usually in terms of world-building but Cats Cradles world is ridiculous and constantly absurd emphasizing its bizarreness. 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.
Is a book about big issues nuclear war environmental concerns and the role of governments. Review Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. I am used to weird books as a whole.
Cats Cradle Kurt Vonnegut - Book Review - YouTube. In the end Cats Cradle is a highly imaginative work of satire. In the book Cats Cradle Kurt Vonnegut uses discreet humor irony and his own made up religion Bokononism to illustrate how science is.
As you are reading it doesnt take long to start reflecting on life hope and the future. Mar 04 2012 Julia Saboya rated it it was amazing. First published 1963 Vonnegut is not for everyone and I suspect many would find him far too cynical to truly enjoy.
