How would you grade Vonnegut's work?
reddit gold.
Cat's Cradle was fantastic, Breakfast of Champions was pretty good, and God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater was just awful.

You're the reason Big Dave killed himself.

it probably was more to do with him stopping his medication
just finished slaughterhouse five, and i have to say: the memes are true - he's shit and reddit-tier
is his other books any different in style and quality

I'd rate Player Piano lower than he does, good premise but poor execution, very heavy-handed moralizing. Sirens of Titan through Slaughterhouse-Five are all excellent, Mother Night is probably my favorite of them. Breakfast of Champions is fun but way too gimmicky. Slapstick is one of my favorite Vonnegut books and he only shits on it because it's too personal. Palm Sunday (which this list is from) is alright, interesting if you want to know more about his life. Galapagos was way too long, but the narrative conceit is cool enough. Deadeye Dick is okay on its own, but works much better as a companion to Breakfast of Champions. Timequake is like a shitty rehash of Palm Sunday. Think those are all the ones I've read

Nah. Internal rhymes matter more than grammar, as my grandfather said before he shot himself.

I've only ever read Slaughterhouse Five, which, when compared to what I have read (not much), I'd give a solid B

I've only read Slaughterhouse five Sirens of Titan and 2/3rds of Player Piano. It seems like they're all very heavy-handed with their morals. If he's capable of subtlety, there really wasn't any to be had in those books.
