Reactions:
“If you love Vonnegut, of course you’ll love this. A lot of it will seem familiar, but who cares. A lot of it is repeated. Again, who cares? He is smart, witty, cynical, genius. If you don’t have everything by Vonnegut yet, this should not be at the top of your list, but once you’ve read everything by him and you want more, get it.” – Rwags

“This was a quick and interesting collection of speeches given by Kurt Vonnegut, mostly to graduating college classes. Though every speech was different, there were definitely a few repeating themes. Well worth a read, and uplifting for the most part. I enjoyed it and I think some of the ideas will stick with me.” – Troy Blackford

“I love Vonnegut. Reading his grocery shopping list would be enjoyable, entertaining and informative. This book is all of that and more.” – Ben Atkinson

“It was a bit boring, and more of a burden to read then a satisfying read. I found the book to be repetitive. Many speeches had the same points, and even same lines. It’s understandable that he would use the same joke or same anecdote in speeches at different universities, but in a book its daunting to get through.” – Monet

“I give Vonnegut’s compilation of speeches a solid three stars, as it was a very quick and enjoyable read. Although mildly redundant–how could it not be given the similar themes throughout most of his speeches–and sometimes a bit too sarcastic-ly cynical in my opinion, I still appreciated his thoughts and perspective.” – Book Worm
