I truly loved this book, although I have yet to read a Vonnegut that I haven’t enjoyed. It was just the right amount of existential, melodramatic, and purely outrageous that made for a compelling read.

I haven't read "Cat's Cradle," one of my "top five," in a while, so this may be "recency bias," but I think this is superior to even that; it's certainly superior, IMO, to "Sirens of Titan," which I have read more recently, and which had been advertised to me as superior (which opinion I did not share). I can think of no more currently-salient "fiction" than "Galapagos"...and it was written about two score years ago! Wow, just, Wow!

its been awhile since I've read Kurt Vonneguts Galápagos. What a treat! His savage lyric and uncompromising human cynicism reminds me of the need for all of us to take a closer look at ourselves. Although the storyline was a bit scattered, I found my self laughing, and learning, thanks.

I always liked Kurt’s books. This one was the worst thing I ever read. I continued reading it thinking it would have some great ending. But alas I have to say Yuck!

This was a strange and sometimes irritating read. I ended up unable to put it down for the last 100 or so pages. Looking forward to another Vonnegut book on the list here.

My favorite book. Love Vonnegut!

Galapagos tells, employing a good sense of humor and sarcasm, how our homo sapiens civilization with all its varieties is a total failure "as far as the logic of natural selection concerned". Vonnegut has an immense imagination combined with highly smart humor which is put in service of criticising our ridiculously greedy human culture.

Here's the story set a million years when people had big brains, but as it turns out they were too big for their own good. As in the Vonnegut way he will draw you in and keep you laughing at the stupidity of mankind, and teach you a few things along the way. If you like other works by Mr. Vonnegut you will certainly enjoy this as well.
