About this listen
Cat's Cradle is Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a little person as the protagonist; a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer; and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny.

Authentic.
I have never read anti-utopia story like this. Truly authentic. It's very powerful how Vonnegut talk about serious social issues using very simple language constructions.
Tony Roberts has made this book even more enjoyable by the way he vocalizes each character.
And bonus interview with the author in the end is very interesting.

Came for some Light* found the Dark* (*comedy)
Came to this looking for a light "comedy" book. . This is not that, (which if I knew of the author beforehand would not have come as a surprise) but would be best described as a dark comedy. However it moves easily from one scene to the next, is descriptive enough without getting bogged down and slow. I'm glad I listened, and will explore the authors other works.

Good story and narrator.
Was an interesting book. The narrator read very well and made the experience very enjoyable. Really brought out each character's personalities.

I'm probably missing the point
Or the context. Either way, I didn't really enjoy it all that much (aside from a few moments of black humour).
