I enjoyed this a lot but it is a very, very strange book. It's based conceptually on a novel that Vonnegut started and didn't like, but that story is mixed in with an introspective sort-of memoir. It's a rambling sort of book, and you should not go in expecting a tightly plotted story.
Read this to see a bunch of Vonnegut's disjointed thoughts on life and hear his anecdotes and perspectives.
