I loved Slaughterhouse-Five. It resonated emotionally with me. I'm still struggling with self-doubts and general anxiety about something that happened a year ago, so its message of calmness facing the inevitable gave me strength.
I finished Cat's Cradle today, but it was lazily written and most of the characters are uninteresting and/or interchangeable. The only thing I liked about it was the description of the mad scientist's life (a pretty obvious case of Asperger's) and the ending. The rest of the book was a chore.

Pretty good author. Kilgore Trout is better.
