I just finished this book of short stories and LOVED IT! While some stories really stuck with me, especially D.P. which almost brought me to tears, there was not a bad story in the lot. Vonnegut referred to these stories as the ones he sold to write the stories he wanted. I can see that as these are a little more "commercial" than some of his novels. A good blend of science fiction, social commentary and, now, nostalgia as most of these were published in the 50's and 60's.

Really fun read that is easy to pick up and put down. Highly recommended!
