Title: Loved it
Review: This book has cemented my love for KV as an author. He is capable of giving exactly enough of the right details to create the perfect sense of 'wow, that was interesting', in every single story. I have only read three or four other KV books, (Slaughterhouse-Five and Cat's Cradle among them), but after having read this I am now in the process of ordering every book I can find by him. That a story like the Euphio question that raises such powerful issues (for instance, does the creator of a machine have the rights to prevent it's proliferation? Is happiness "bought" as valuable happiness "earned"? Does "easier" always correspond to "better"?), and forces their consideration in so few pages (17!) is amazing. His style is natural, and makes you want to continue reading, within three days (week-days (during which I was taking a full graduate-level course load)) I had read it, cover to cover. I would unreservedly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a book that will make you think.
Is the review positive or negative?
