Its not a bad book but it isn't a great book. As with the other Vonnegut books I've read it's prose is very readable and I found myself getting through it rather quickly when I actually sat down to read it. But for me, Bluebeard just doesn't land as well as something like Sirens of Titan; Rabo Karabekian is a good, likable, well written character (and the plot itself has these same virtues), but in the end I couldn't help but ask "is that all we went on this journey for?"
