Very funny and dark. Vonnegut moves freely through many, many ideas throughout with a surreal, but also very grounded perspective.

Hilarious. This book is packed full with so many great jokes and outlandish situations, but it also can hit emotionally when it wants to. There’s a lot of truth here, not a lot of facts, and it’s great throughout.

Quite a devastating story. Can be very bleak, and spends its time showing how dismal the burned world is. I really enjoyed the way McCarthy takes breaks from prose in some points to give what feels like poetry. Can reread many of those passages over and over.

Haunting. McCarthy also takes a break from prose to give what feels like poetry from time to time throughout, many great passages that stick with you

Great. Very haunting. I love how the dystopian setting acts more as just a backdrop to the main story, and just accentuates a lot of the same feelings most of us experience regarding love and death.

This is a little bit of a slow burn. There’s a lot of great reflections on purpose, relationships, and growing as a person, all within a very grounded and realistic world, but sometimes can feel banal. But that’s kind of what life is, and the emotional points do hit well.
