Product Description

From AudioFile

Because of the intricacy of the ideas, the convolution of the plots, and the irony of the themes, Kurt Vonnegut is probably the only narrator who could do justice to these selections from SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE, WELCOME TO THE MONKEY HOUSE, BREAKFAST OF CHAMPTIONS and CAT'S CRADLE. His intonation, reflective tone and strategic pauses help the listener appreciate his creative style. He delivers his writing with wry humor and an "ironic drone," which are characteristic of both his speech and work. His voice is clear, slow and somewhat deliberate. His satire and innuendo are so familiar to him that they cannot be lost in his narration. D.D.G. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Product Description

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. himself reads from his most celebrated works: "Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five," and three complete stories from "Welcome to the Monkey House.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for Vonnegut fans, Sep 9 2004

By Phillip Remaker - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Audio Collection (Audio Cassette)

I loved these books, except for the fact that they are abridged. The main thing I liked was that Vonnegut plays and sings the songs which he writes in the books. Whenever a song appears in a Vonnegut text, you have lyrics, but no melody. I expected to only hear him read the lyrics, but he has an acoustic guitar and SINGS. That was a trip.
