Title: Grateful to be alive...
Product review: I listened to this audiobook on a long drive...and I'm greatful to be alive, but probably not in the sense you'd expect. Between road hypnosis and the drone of this book, I nearly fell asleep more than once. Disjointed, self-indulgent musings about family, life, death, religion and (oh yeah) the self-proclaimed not-good-enough-to-publish Timequake storyline make for a day at the insane asylum. If you into self-flagellation and you enjoy going to visit 80 year-old uncles who are happy to blather on in stream of consciousness while you're bound and gagged and bored silly, then this is the book for you. Attracted by the title, this was my first foray into Vonnegut and I was monumentally disappointed. It will be hard to pick up his other titles without the taste of this one in my mouth. Spit.
