Review title: Kurt Vonnegut on The Meaning of Life
Product review: The Sirens of Titan is a satirical science-fiction novel that isn't really science-fiction and shouldn't be read as one. This is crucial. Vonnegut often uses fantastical devices in his work to relate his view of human existence to the reader. There is, however, no concern for elaborating on the workings of these devices, or even making them plausible. Vonnegut cares only for what those devices represent. This novel is, primarily, a rather despairing satirical analysis of the human condition on a cosmic scale.Read it to the end. I can't stress this enough: I disliked what I read until the end, because I was reading it in the wrong spirit. When I got to the end, however, I began re-reading sections and actually enjoyed it quite a bit. So read it to the end, and read it in the right spirit.The book is remarkably well-written, has a deceptively clever plot, and has rather deep characterization. All this in a relatively short book. Highly recommended!
