It's Kurt Vonnegut ffs... I can't be expected to write a separate review for each of his books so here's my answer for 'Should I buy (insert KV book here)?

YES... (insert KV book here) is amazingly well written... you'll laugh out loud at least once... you'll cry at least once... You'll catch yourself at least once with super dumb expressions on your face and make sure no-one is looking at you... you'll have to put the book down at least once because it's too much feelz... You will read many phrases that you'll think 'I should write this down to mention to people!' but don't bother, there are too many and people will feel like you're obsessed with Kurt Vonnegut.

Seriously though, about Bluebeard... It's KV writing about abstract expressionists (painters), which I love, and I've always considered KV an abstract expressionist writer in a way... You sometimes have no idea what you are reading or have just read, but you stare off into space and simply say... "Wow... Deep."

Bluebeard A Novel Delta Fiction Kurt Vonnegut 9780385333511 Books Reviews

I love this book. I have read it four times over the past couple of years. I have bought multiple copies as gifts for others. Kurt Vonnegut is (was) such a great genius, I love all of his works, but this one really speaks to me. While I know it is not considered to be one of his finest works, I find the book brilliant and engaging. I am sure I will read it many more times.
Bluebeard is to literature what a hot soup on a cold day is to gastronomy. Unextravagant, yet hearty, reassuring and pleasant. Again, through his witty and cynical prose pervades subject matter that I found to be repeated throughout his oeuvre, war but especially ww2 and serendipity.
Not his best work, I wouldn't recommend to start with bluebird if you are new to Vonnegut but if you are a diehard fan it is definite must read.
I have read "Slaughterhouse 5" and "Cats Cradle" three times each at different phases of my life. Time to move on. "Bluebeard" was definitely a good choice. Vonnegut does not disappoint. The secret of what is in the Potato Barn is a grand ending to a great novel; a surprise that shouldn't have been one.
Another home run Vonnegut story. I started reading Kurt when I ran out of Chuck Palahniuk books and Bluebeard is another great one. It ties nicely into a lot of his other stories in small ways. I feel like Kurt's at his best when he's able to talk about the country's wars and how they relate to the rest of our world.
Read and re-read this book multiple times. Love Bluebeard for its simplicity in terms of plot and for its complex examination of the full spectrum of personal relations among relatives, strangers, colleagues and even people whom we may not even like but with whom we nevertheless associate. And of course the ever-present war commentary, as Rabo recalls the events that shaped his amazing abilities and unfortunate shortcomings. I'll wait a few years and then re-read so I can be reminded of one simple truth -- we all need to cut ourselves some slack and remember what we indeed bring to the world.
Strangely, this is in my top 2 of Vonnegut books. It is almost universally acknowledged that Slaughter House Five is his very best. A masterpiece. Bluebeard is a very different narrative style for Vonnegut, but has the same, deeply moving emotion that makes Slaughter House a classic. It is a very well told story in what is a much more traditional voice. Evidence that Vonnegut would have been a genius in any style he chose. And this work is genius. I can make a lot of arguments for other books being in his top 2, but I can't make an argument why this one is not, which is ridiculous logic, but, in the end, it is the visceral response. It is that, when I think of Vonnegut, this and Slaughter House are the first two books I think of. Can you go wrong with Vonnegut, anyway? No, you can't. Even if you don't agree that it is perhaps his second best novel, you will be very unlikely to regret reading it.
Seventy-one year-old Armenian-American Abstract Expressionist painter Rabo Karabekian is living alone on the oceanfront of East Hampton, Long Island, in his lonely 19-room house. A new arrival shows up on his private beach, and she quickly takes over Rabo’s house and life. She is an author, and encourages Karabekian to write his autobiography.

This is an amusing look at modern art and artists, war memories and cruelty, art in general, and it’s told with all that I love about Vonnegut.

Kurt Vonnegut + art discussion = a great read. Recommended.
