Summary
Review by Danno: Overall A good introduction to Vonnegut, a collection of twentyfive short stories which made me laugh out loud at times, and think at others. It's not Slaughterhouse Five, it's not Cat'sCradle, but it's still a great read. Even if the only story you read is Harrison Bergeron, it is worth buying. The story is based in the year 2081 and we now have a United States Handicapper General to bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator. I occasionally go back and read this story.
Violence
Language It's Kurt Vonnegut, of course there's vulgar language.
Sexual
Drug & Alcohol Again, it's Vonnegut.
