Title: Great, but not for a first Vonnegut read
Review: I just finished this book, and I absolutely loved it. This was the last Vonnegut novel I hadn't read, and it was definitely a great summary of themes and beliefs he expresses in his other novels.To that end, I wouldn't recommend it as a first Vonnegut read. It's almost an essay about his views on the madness of capitalism in America.It's a great novel, no doubt, with a very satisfying ending. But if you've heard about Kurt Vonnegut and you just want to try it out, try "Slaughterhouse Five," "Hocus Pocus," "Cat's Cradle," or "Mother Night."You really can't go wrong with this amazing author, but "God Bless You Mr. Rosewater" might come off as a bit preachy if you don't know what you're getting into.That being said, it is still a great novel. So if you're a fan, read this book.
