Customer Reviews

Great stories, all classic
The thing about this book is that one needs to know is that this was originally published before "Welcome to the Monkey House," another Vonnegut short story collection. When "Monkey House" was printed, they took all but the title story and included them in it. Because of that, if you own "Monkey House," you own all of the stories already (except for "Canary in a Cat House" which can be found in the new book, "The Bagombo Snuff Box"). Regardless, if you are a true Vonnegut fan, you will want it. Otherwise, you might be better off with "Monkey House", as it is less expensive since they no longer print this book in anything but library binding. Peace.

A must have for Vonnegut fans!
Any and all Vonnegut is worth buying and reading. This collection of short stories from early in Vonnegut's career is no different. But, buyer beware--if you are looking for Vonnegut stories you've not read before, you will be disappointed! All of these stories were included in Welcome to the Monkeyhouse and Bagombo Snuff Box. If, like me, you've gotta have it all...DON'T PASS THIS ONE UP! A very hard to find collector's item.

A shorter version of Welcome to the Monkey House
I was disappointed when I read this book, because almost all of the stories were in Welcome to the Monkey House. I love Vonnegut, but this isn't one of his best.
