Book Reviews of God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian
Book Review: A primer for the uninitiated
Summary: 4 Stars
Kurt Vonnegut had (it now transpires) wrongly informed us that "Timequake" was to be his last work of fiction.When the great man says he has stopped serving meals we fans find nutrition even in just one bite.
This novella contains original work (although it has been broadcast in the States) and can be consumed at one sitting in c40 mins. It has all the hallmarks of KV and some of the old jokes eg "Isaac (Asimov) is in Heaven now" the remark with which he broke the Humanist conference into laughter after his succession to the presidency.
There is even a reference to the mythical MIT address when KV suggests we "wear sunscreen"!
I intend giving it as a gift to those who've not tried KV because it will make an ideal primer.
