One of Vonnegut's Most Hearfelt Works,
By Eric D. Knapp "Cluck" (New Hampshire, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bluebeard: A Novel (Paperback)
I'm a huge Vonnegut fan. He is one of the strongest influences on my own writing. However, while I usually find his stories full of real characters who are in unreal situations (Time Quake, Galapagos, etc.) Bluebeard is full of real characters in a very real setting. It is a character story through and through, and is refreshingly Earth-bound. If you like Vonnegut but dislike his tendencies towards sci-fi, you'll love this book. If you love the sci-fi edge, well... you'll probably still like this book.

Classic Vonnegut,
By Archange M. Chavannes "Mike Chavannes" (Crestview, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Bluebeard: A Novel (Paperback)
In the 5 or 6 Vonnegut books I've read so far, I've yet to be disappointed, and Bluebeard is certainly no exception. It is, however, one of his less fantastic tales. Karabekian has a less than ordinary past, but the story itself seldom leaves his house in the Hamptons, except for the random flashbacks to his childhood or his time during the war as a camouflage artist. The genius in this book is truly the characters and the twists of admiration, disgust, comraderie and annoyance that keeps even an old bluebeard constantly evolving.Though not my favorite of Vonnegut's books, I consider even the worst of what he's written absolute masterpieces.
