Deadeye Dick A Novel Kurt Vonnegut Books

*NOT A BOOK REVIEW.*

The typos are numerous and at times confusing. You see, they aren't misspellings, but rather different words whose shapes look similar to what the actual word is supposed to be.

Let me give you an example.
Page 1, first paragraph: "They said the year was 1932, arid that was that."

The problem is that sometimes I will encounter a sentence I don't quite understand, and wonder if it's because my vocab is poor or if it's because of a typo. Considering it's Vonnegut, I'm betting on the latter.

2 stars, because not understanding the odd sentence here and there doesn't destroy your ability to comprehend the book overall, but boy does it really pull you out from the story.

Deadeye Dick A Novel Kurt Vonnegut Books Reviews

I have thought Vonnegut was an exceptional writer! That being the case, I found this novel to be a great read. Both funny and dark. This is something I have come to expect in all his writings.
Surely, most, if not all of us, hold within some deep dark secret. If it ever went viral, OMG, only a leap off the Brooklyn Bridge (or similar) could save the onslaught of shame. Well, not so with Rudy Waltz, alias Deadeye Dick. At the ripe old age of 12 the ultimate shame was known to all. It followed him (as we do) throughout his life. Poor kid.
It is too bad because Kurt Vonnegut is one of the best writers around. However, The Edition had so many errors and typos, I had to put the down. One or two, I can look past. One or two on every page is distracting and just plain poor quality. The copy editor ought to be fired! If you are reading on , choose a different book.
This novel is a story about a young man who gets a bad start to his life. I highly recommend it as I would all Vonnegut's novels.
I liked it
I've read a lot of Vonnegut, but "Deadeye Dick" has by far been my favorite read so far. The main protagonist Rudy Waltz is definitely a flawed, even tragic character but Vonnegut makes you love and feel for him throughout. This is the 1st novel I read and then immediately reread. Vonnegut was a master of his craft and "Deadeye Dick" proves that! I don't want to give more of the story away here so read it! WILL NOT be disappointed!
The great Kurt Vonnegut does not disappoint with "Deadeye Dick," which is both a prequel and sequel to "Breakfast of Champions" as it begins long before the Midland City Festival For the Arts and ends long afterward. This story is poignant and funny and ridiculous and sarcastic and ironic and intelligent, and so many of the familiar faces are in this story--Duane Hoobler makes a pre-Pontiac appearance, so do the Maratimo brothers and many, many more.

's service, on the other hand, was deeply disappointing. I ordered a NEW book and paid a slightly higher price buying it from than another vendor because I trust . The book that arrived was scuffed with worn. The cover had small tears along the edges.

The condition of the book wasn't Vonnegut's fault so he still gets all five stars. This was an eye-opener for me. Until now I'd always found reliable.
