This biography reads and shares some style with its subjects work. I loved it! Thank you for not sugarcoating it. Most shocking to me was the face that K somehow and accidentally made the atrocity that was the foreboding of Dresden less horrible than it was in reality. So it goes.

It wasn't an auto? Could have fooled me.

So drawn out. The things in his life that happened of which are interesting are hardly talked about. All about the love triangle with his women. Very dull

Thought it would never end

I was concerned going in about the conspicuous breathing sounds by the reader and a plodding narrative. The breathing sounds are at worst moderately annoying. If the narrative was dark, well, so was Vonnegut. Anyone who has read a few of his books knows this going in. I wanted to learn more about the writer who turned me on to reading when I was a teenager, and I did.

Reading Mr Vonnegut's life story has given me strength. We all screw up. I am still grieving my wife's passing last year. But Jane? and so it goes. Vonnegut is a true artist. His story really resonates. And helps.

Helps get over sad pitfalls
