Title: Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle" less than impressive.
Review: "Cat's Cradle" is my first Vonnegut read. Considering his Nobel prize for literature, I was disappointed. Cat's Cradle creates a handful of new words; bokonon, boko-maru, wampeter, and etc. The apparent purpose of this tome is to poke fun at religion in general, in a very gentle and inconsequential way.Generally, I was bored through the bulk of the story, with only the slightest uptick in the way Vonnegut tied up loose ends together at the conclusion.My next Vonnegut read will be "Slaughter House Five". If what little I've read about that story prove to be even half accurate, it should prove to be a better reading investment.Paul
