I completed Vonnegut's Sirens of Titan,another of his works excoriating religion and war. Miles better than his Player Piano I read earlier in the year for the 1950s SF challenge. This was full of the most savage irony. Unlikeable characters meant I couldnt feel an emotional attachment to it,but it was well-written,often blackly humorous,and quite poignant at times. I much preferred it to Slaughterhouse Five.



I read Sirens of Titan about a year ago. I didn't rank it among Vonnegut's best. I hardly remember it now. Slaughterhouse Five, on the other hand, is among Vonnegut's best. Different strokes for different folks.
