18. Anyone else disappointed that:
-the book contained many recycled passages from his other books and not so much new material?
-was not even more overtly political and did not contain more criticism of the present Administration?

NOTE: This by no means diminishes my opinion of Vonnegut. I have loved him for 20 years. If I could only read one author for the rest of my life, it would be Vonnegut. There are days when I thank God for him because reading his books when I was younger sometimes made me feel normal because I finally found that I was not alone in being disgusted and depressed by the vileness and greed in our society and yet able to love people and to make jokes and laugh.
