Galápagos – 3.5 Stars:
This is definitely a fun read, beautifully written by Vonnegut. There are some humorous moments, typical of his style, and the messages and reflections are fairly clear and easy to grasp.
It reminded me a bit of The Sirens of Titan in terms of scope and tone—light, enjoyable, but not much more than that. Vonnegut doesn’t always resonate with me, and while sometimes the connection is pure magic, this wasn’t one of those times.
Also, I’ve realized that this kind of light sci-fi—based mostly on speculation and humor without much science or world-building—has started to lose its appeal for me over the years.
