Hocus Pocus




I finished this this morning. I usually love Vonnegut. It was actually hard to follow because of the way it was cut up. Think of a movie that goes backwards, like Memento or Kill Bill and then try reading it. I think the problem was that each chapter wasn't devoted to one single theme (not that it needs to be, but this was overkill), it was all over the place in time (as in each paragraph would go somewhere else!) and the mix of putting everything in one chapter was aggravating. The plot itself is good (its about a Vietnam Vet/womanizer). But I'm sad to say I couldn't wait to finish this book.
