A Few Last Jabs . . .
Kurt, Kurt, Kurt . . . A few last jabs before you went down for the count. No, this can't be compared to his earlier novels, or his later novels. It is not meant to be---it is a memoir of sorts---his last parting thoughts on the way things are. A Man Without A Country is a concise, simple little ditty, with a few quick jabs to once again jolt the minds of the choir. Like Mark Twain before him, life just plain got to him. I know the feeling. At 57, I am feeling much the same way. After spending some hard-time on earth, dealing with the workings of this world and man's never changing habits, any thinking, caring person would have to throw their hands in the air and say, "When will we ever learn!" And it seems, from Twain's time on---and from way before---back to the first primates to utter a sound and drop from the trees in search of something to kill, man hasn't changed a spit. A Man Without A Country is a dang good little book, and an enjoyable read from a man who will be sorely missed. Hi Ho! Mr. Vonnegut, Hi Ho!

My new Bible (almost!)
This book is absolutely hilarious! There were parts of it that I shared with all of my family and friends because they made me laugh so hard! At the same time, the book provides a look at Vonnegut's insights into various aspects of the world and human nature, many of which are highly interesting. I would recommend this book to everyone at the high school age or older! All generations will find it interesting and funny! 2007-06-27




book in good condition except for a bunch of stickers on the back cover.
everything about the book was perfect, save for a bunch of stickers and sticker residue all over the back. i managed to get it off though, so no complaints. 2007-06-26




Absolutely fantastic
This is the first Vonnegut I ever happened to read. I stumbled upon it luckily just before he died. I thought it to be an almost perfect book. A short read, I read it within an hour, and full of humanity and laughter.
Thanks Kurt for having shared your genius with us.

I was smiling.
This book is beautiful. When I tried to quote some parts of it to my friends, I realised that I just wanted to keep reading it out loud, so they could hear everything.
Writing is classical Vonnegut -- simple yet engaging, descriptive enough without being overwhelmingly so, very charming, witty, and true.
I know I'll be recommending this book to everyone.
