I think Player Piano is an ok book. I like the story towards the end, but the first hundred pages or so are too slow paced in my opinion. I like all the different characters and scattered scenes of humor Vonnegut incorporates into the work, especially Haycox and the Shah of Bratpuhr. I also appreciate Vonnegut’s message of how our development of more and more advanced technology may betray us in the future. However, the overall story itself is not very exciting to me, it drags on a bit too long, and it does not really stand out in my mind, so that is why I think the book is ok rather than one I would consider worth reading again in my spare time.
