Summary: The final weapon is water
Comment: A masterpiece in dark science fiction, which, behind a showing simplicity and a smooth flowing, hides a highly polished and well-timed language, even in its slung expressions. A personal prophecy about use of "final weapons", with an interesting reference to solid state physics (people with some experience in crystal growth may find dynamics of Ice-9 a bit inconsistent, but it is nevertheless interesting, and who remembers the polywater affair?). A strange religion, exotic environments, politics, Vonnegut's seminal work mixes all up stimulating at a same time entertainment and reflection.

Summary: Cat's Cradle
Comment: Cat's Cradle is a book about a writer (Jonah) who wants to write a story on the day the atomic bombings during World War II. He requests information from the family of the man who invented the bomb, but soon finds out that there is more to this man than meets the eye. He finds out that man developed a chemical that can wipe out the entire world as we know it. On top of that, Jonah discovers a very mysterious religion that unfolds as the story progresses.
This book is an excellent read with many un-expected twists and turns. The more you read, the more the book develops and the more in depth it becomes. It is a mind bender that makes you take a second look at many of today's religions, and the beliefs that go along with them.

Summary: Kurt Vonnegut Cat's Cradle
Comment: I enjoyed reading Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, it was an easy book to read. I loved how everything in the book made sense, and connected with one thing to another. Its the type of book you could read again and again and figure out something new that connects each time you read it. Cat's Cradle isn't a book you can skim and just go through the motions, you actually have to think about what you are reading and how it relates to the other things you have read. Cat's Cradle is a good book if you enjoy fiction books.
