1.0 out of 5 stars this book is trash, April 17 2002

By A Customer

this is an illegal bootleg with no collectors value.

all of these stories can be found in welcome to the monkeyhouse and bagombo snuffbox. it's a waste of money and a sham to purchase this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Extra Story, Oct 24 2001

By	"space-wanderer" (Swampscott, MA United States) - See all my reviews

Vonnegut, as usual, has written delightful characters and wonderfully satiric plots in these short stories. Interested readers will find all stories herein, except "Hal Irwin's Magic Lamp", in "Welcome to the Monkey House". Canary in a Cathouse has a cool cover, but unless you are collecting, save your dough.

Like all of his other books - makes you smile, cry and think. He tells you about familiar things in a different way, mostly about yourself. People who know Vonnegut will love it. Those who don't will fall in love.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for Vonnegut fans!
Any and all Vonnegut is worth buying and reading. This collection of short stories from early in Vonnegut's career is no different. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Canary In A Cat House
Vonnegut is pure genius with a tremendous sense of humor and an ucanny understanding of human nature. His wit and brilliance are evident in all of his writings. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars A shorter version of Welcome to the Monkey House
I was disappointed when I read this book, because almost all of the stories were in Welcome to the Monkey House. I love Vonnegut, but this isn't one of his best.
