Compellingly narrated by Sean Runnette, this eye-opening read is perfect for both fans of science and of Kurt Vonnegut. ["The book is engaging owing to the author's rich characterization of historical persons, source material, and selective assemblage of events": LJ 9/1/15 review of the Farrar hc.]

The Vonnegut name is the big draw here, but fans seeking the definitive Kurt Vonnegut biography should read Charles J. Shields's And So It Goes: Kurt Vonnegut; A Life instead. Still, the book is engaging owing to the author's rich characterization of historical persons, source material, and selective assemblage of events. This title is ripe for adaptation into a quirky, independent film.
