Immensely readable and thoroughly entertaining. --The Washington Post <br><br> Taut, concise . . . The stories set themselves up with neat swiftness, proceed at a clip, and shut down with equal speed, [showing Vonnegut] honing his skills in structure and satire. --Los Angeles Times <br> <br> A lovely reminder of the mischievous moral voice we lost when we lost Kurt Vonnegut. --San Francisco Chronicle <br> <br> These stories were all good when they were written decades ago, but many strike me as great now.
