I decided to quickly breeze through this one because I just saw Alan Rudolph's cinematic version. Though the film was a complete commercial flop it actually had some interesting elements that reminded me of things like Fear and Loathing and Schizopolis. I can't say it was a great movie, but it was kinda entertaining, and this is exactly how I would describe the novel as well. It's certainly not one of Vonnegut's best. It's too scattered and indulgently meta-fictional to not feel a bit like a well know writer trying to come up with just anything to publish. But it's also got a few great laugh-out-loud moments that only the non-author of "Wear Sunscreen" could have come up with.
