Mar 08, 2018TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Really, really weird stuff here. Vonnegut described it as being as close to an autobiography as he would ever write, but that aspect of it manifests itself more through characters and feelings than the actual events of the story; the plot of the book is based around two horribly ugly twins, who function essentially as two halves of a brain, and can combine their minds into one super powerful being. Vonnegut creates a story full of absurdity which tries to examine loneliness, family, religion, and other such topics. Very interesting read overall, typical Vonnegut humour, more scattered than most of his other books, you get the classic “repeated phrase after all the funny parts” that he likes to use. Would recommend to fans of Vonnegut’s less realistic side; 4/5. - @zlogan of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
