it was alright. neat ideas, neat format, but honestly just kinda..alright.

It was ok. It was kind of bizarre in the minorly not so good way, but Vonnegut can make the prose amusing at least.

A surprisingly great little short horror story.

This was...a weird book. I did not understand a lot of the nuance. I very often wondered wtf was going on. I vaguely managed to follow the themes. It's also not my kind of enjoyment - it's the politics and general life and times of a family in the early 20th century in the South.

But...unlike some others I've tried and completely DNF'd (pride and prejudice, jane eyre) and others I've simply been bored out of my mind by (Dubliners), this one was something unique. A very strange experience that I cannot put into words and whilst I don't think I'd say I enjoyed it or have much to reflect on, I do think it was worth the read.

I think I'm happy giving it a higher score than if this was a modern book because...something this out there from the 1920s managing to do whatever it did? A worthy read.

Yeah it's pretty solid. It mostly gives you good templates of retro activities. Hosted a great retro with it.

It does feel a bit uh, limited at trying to troubleshoot things like "people don't really care that much about retros" or how to measure the value you get from them, but it's a nice cookbook.

It was alright. It was a bit kind of...introductory. If you know that you should be making a domain that describes your situation and things like "it should not allow for invalid states" then you aren't gonna get much from this.

It was *okay*. It was better than Brave New World (as in, there was a sort of story) but it was still kinda...yeah okay you've got this specific idea of a dystopian future and that's that.
