I found this book pretty tedious to read and unnecessarily repetitive in its message about humans our big brains. You'll get what he's saying in the first 3 chapters, but he makes the same point about 2 dozen times over the book. Still give it 4 stars because Vonnegut's prose is stellar, and the webs of stories and the motif of genealogy/evolution are masterful. Simple sentences in the story brought me to tears. That's vonnegut I guess.
