Topic > "Cat's Cradle Book Review"

When I started reading this book, I found it difficult to understand it due to its unique writing style. The author of Cat's Cradle divided the book into 127 chapters, the title of each chapter is significant to each of the paragraphs that fall within the chapter. This book was recommended to me by my sister, she knew I would like it because it is satire, science fiction and is different from other books. It is about a man named Jonah (. also known as John) who is writing a book about the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima In the book Jonah also decides to write about the person who created the atomic bomb book begins with the narrator introducing his beliefs a Bokononist and how he was a Christian when he wrote his book called The Day the World Ended.

I found them very boring and extremely confusing due to the lack of events in the story and the frequent changes of setting. When I got to chapter five, events really started to pick up and it became more interesting. In chapter five Jonah wrote a letter to Newt Hoenikker, Felix's youngest son. Felix Hoenikker is the scientist who created the atomic bomb. She wrote him a letter to get more information about the day the atomic bomb was dropped and her relationship with her father. Newt responds to Jonah's letter by saying he doesn't remember much about that day because he was little but claims he didn't have a good relationship with his father. Newt also mentions how his mother Emily had died while she was giving birth to him. Later in the book we are introduced to another character called Asa Breed. Dr. Breed was Felix's supervisor at the research laboratory where Felix helped develop the atomic bomb. John interviewed him while he was doing research for his book. During the interview Dr. Breed mentioned something called ice nine to John. Ice-nine is one of Felix's projects to create something that can freeze all the water on earth. As a reader, knowing this information about Ice-nine made me very fascinated by the book because I really want to know what will happen next, and at the same time knowing all this, so many questions came to my mind like: , Does Ice-nine really exist? And if so, who has it? Starting from where I am in the story, the book is quite interesting despite the boring introduction to the plot and characters. My impression of the characters is that they are unique and different from any other book I've read, especially because I don't identify with any of them. I'm currently enjoying my book because events are starting to get interesting. My prediction for what will happen next is that Jonah will stop writing about the day the atomic bomb fell but will instead do more research and write about Ice-nine. After reading half the book I realized that it is an extremely slow paced book. Events take forever to end and new events take a long time to start, which surprises me because it's not a long book. I still find myself confused while reading, this is because there are an excessive amount of characters introduced in the book, some relevant and some less so. In this book the setting changes constantly which can get a little tricky, in one chapter the main character is in a cemetery, the next he is in a basement. I found that every detail in this book is important, if you miss a small detail you will get confused, so it is important to pay close attention to anything one of the characters says because it reveals more about each character and.
