(  ) tro214 | Sep 9, 2009 |  Awesomely weird and a little creepy and definitely competing with Cat's Cradle for my favorite slot out of Kurt Vonnegut's novels. At this point in time this novel is winning because of its out of this world crazy ideas about humankind and the direction we are going in. I think the reason I like this book so much is because of the seal people, but Vonnegut obviously never thought of test tube babies. ( ) laurenbethy | Jun 16, 2009 | tamaranth | Jun 8, 2009 | Like the best science fiction it has so many interesting ideas explored and tantalised through a compelling story line. I wonder about Vonnegut's mental state while writing this, it is just so black and dark, did he try to take the black view of humanity to such an extreme to show it's folly or it's fact? I'm not sure which. Just so right to see the birthplace of evolutionary theory as the deathplace of humanity by that very action. (  ) caz4562000 | Apr 10, 2009 | This was a fun read. Vonnegut's creativity surprises me over and over again. Galapagos feels more in the vein of Cat's Cradle (sci-fi-y) than Breakfast of Champions, for example, though the usual Midland City suspects definitely make cameos.
