About this listen

Deadeye Dick is Kurt Vonnegut's funny, chillingly satirical look at the death of innocence. Amid a true Vonnegutian host of horrors - a double murder, a fatal dose of radioactivity, a decapitation, an annihilation of a city by a neutron bomb - Rudy Waltz, aka Deadeye Dick, takes us along on a zany search for absolution and happiness. Here is a tale of crime and punishment that makes us rethink what we believe...and who we say we are.

This is the story of a severely dysfunctional family. Told in an original style of writing by Kurt Vonnegut from the youngest sons point of view.
Very enjoyable.

If you really get a good chuckle out of our lethal ineptitudes presented as dour absurdity, why, then, you are in for a screaming good time. This interminable screed of self-sabotage, droning mediocrity, misery and accidental murders will have you rolling on the floor and roaring with paroxysms of uncontrollable belly laughs. Or something.

This a story about a boring man's monolog. It's well told and some interesting things happen, but the core character is understandably apathetic.

much ado about nothing

Story excellent and could only improve if reread. Narrator seemed inappropriate to read Kurt. Inflections sped over. Mortal sin
