I love this book. I think that it was the first Vonnegut book that i had read. I love his near death experiences, and how he talks to people in the afterlife. Its just a very interesting way to think about things and how he is writing this book. It's a very short and easy read, but also makes you think why is he writing this. ( )

God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian is a very, very short book consisting of fictional interviews of dead people by Vonnegut. It was a neat idea, adapted from short interludes meant for radio, and I especially enjoyed his interviews with Hitler and Mary Shelley. My only regret is that the book wasn't *longer*! ( )

This book, a measly 80 pages, is such a quick read (25 minutes for me) that it's hard to resist, especially as it's one of the late, great Kurt Vonnegut's last published works.

This book highlights what is so wonderful about Vonnegut's style: there's no pretense, no flash, no fanciness; just prose that's plain-spoken, clear, and remarkably incisive.

The 21 "mock interviews" contained herein use a variety of personalities -- living and dead, common and famous -- to astutely show the complexity of what Vonnegut called his "disgust with civilization." But rather than feeling bitter or resentful, it's a rather beautiful exposition on life and existence.

Surely worth reading over and over again.

Kurt Vonnegut delves into the afterlife... literally! He interviews people in heaven and comes up with some cute stories, but overall this book didn't really appeal to me. ( )
