A review by nostalgia_reader
Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut
3.0
3.5 stars
"If facts weren't funny or scary, or couldn't make you rich, the heck with them."
And I thought that Slaughterhouse Five was difficult to review...
This is about the third or fourth time I've opened up a text box to review this, but each time I've clicked the tab closed because Vonnegut's style is so unique, it's difficult to review and pinpoint.
I mean that in the best way possible of course.
His continual observations of society, race, money, and life in general are quite true and memorable... his books are worth rereading simply for the aphorisms that he writes.
Compared to Slaughterhouse, I wasn't nearly as captivated by this one, seeing as I wasn't as interested in the main character and his life, and the entire premise of the story was a bit odd and I never quite grasped it. However, it was still enjoyable, and a must read for Vonnegut fans.
