"The best Vonnegut novel yet!"
–John Irving "Beautiful . . . provocative, arresting reading."
–USA Today "A madcap genealogical adventure . . . Vonnegut is a postmodern Mark Twain."
–The New York Times Book Review "A satire in the classic tradition . . . a dark vision, a heartfelt warning."
–The Detroit Free Press "Interesting, engaging, sad and yet very funny . . . Vonnegut is still in top form. If he has no prescription for alleviating the pain of the human condition, at least he is a first-rate diagnostician."
–Susan Isaacs, Newsday "Dark . . . original and funny."
–People "A triumph of style, originality and warped yet consistent logic . . . a condensation, an evolution of Vonnegut's entire career, including all the issues and questions he has pursued relentlessly for four decades."
–The Philadelphia Inquirer "Wild details, wry humor, outrageous characters . . .
Galápagos is a comic lament, a sadly ironic vison."
–St. Louis Post-Dispatch "A work of high comedy, sadness and imagination."
–The Denver Post "Wacky wit and irreverent imagination . . . and the full range of technical innovations have made [Vonnegut] America's preeminent experimental novelist."
–The Minneapolis Star and Tribune
