It is somewhat amusing in a wry way and quite enjoyable. There is no world-building going on and so I dont feel like I bought into it as a reader and thus the invented words were just annoying. The payoff is usually in terms of world-building but Cats Cradles world is ridiculous and constantly absurd emphasizing its bizarreness.

Cats Cradle Review As usual Vonnegut brings his unique sense of humor and absurdity to the proceedings making for a deliciously whacked out. Let me start off by saying that Cats Cradle was a good book but super weird.
