## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I still like this one
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2020*

This is a re-read for me. I've read this book so many times in translation so I gave it a go in its original language. There was nothing to be scared of because Vonnegut's genius is not in obscure sentences or too elaborate vocabulary. What I really liked about his writing is even more present in the original (which was not in question, rather whether I can understand it).I continue to like this book really much and will continue to re-read all of Vonnegut's works in their original form.(Also I hate the cover of this edition).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Brilliant, insightful, and allegorical to Vonnegut's private struggles!
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2014*

As with so many of Vonnegut's books, the forward is of utmost importance. It is a rare opportunity to see beyond the veil and understand who KVJ is and what his works are really about. It brings what is otherwise a fairly absurd story about a grotesque set of twin geniuses, into the light, and reveals the deeper story of Vonnegut and his sister. The forward does not go into detail about the particulars of their relationship, but deftly sets the scene to read between the lines of the story. Though true in most of his works, Slapstick feels even more personal and revealing than usual. There is a trepidation and sadness in it that in other works might be dealt with with more of a light humor and author's ego. This feels to be full of humility and regret of not having done more.In the forward, Vonnegut writes about his incapacity for love. Though done in a funny, insightful, and accessible way, it is clear that this lack of interpersonal connection is a great source of sadness for the author. A constant pang of guilt and fear of being hastily built seeps through the anecdotal lamentations of his tragic and (as usual) doomed characters. Vonnegut's stories are often allegories for painful past events in his life that he lacks the vocabulary to talk about in a direct manner, and in Slapstick this is felt even deeper. Though not his best book by far, Slapstick is possibly the most personal that I have read, and as a great appreciator of the man, I am happy to have this rare look into the brilliant mess upstairs.PS this review was actually written by my son, Jesse SD Cohen, who is always trying to get me to read more Vonnegut.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    As always, K. Vonnegut delivers
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2016*

I will not write a lengthy review of the book itself, instead I will simply ease the mind of the potential buyer - yes, it is a good book. If you have read  Vonnegut already, this will simply be an extension of what you already know and love. If you are new to Vonnegut, I would suggest Breakfast of Champions, Slaughterhause Five, and Sirens of Titans. After that you will understand Vonneguts humor and wit, and should be able to jump into any Vonnegut book.
