Title: Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Review: God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater is a perfect example of a canned story. Nothing about this book could be considered excellent, nor original. The alleged wit of Vonnegut makes no appearance in this bit of tripe. The only somewhat redeeming facet of this book was the fact that everyone in it was useless: the Senator who obvioulsy bought his way into politics, the absent-minded heir to a fortune unearned even by his father, and the helpless souls of Rosewater, IN. Perhaps that's what this story is all about; reducing everyone to the same mean, useless status, and then showing how a "great" person will love them regardless. What a load of tripe.
