"My first near-death experience was an accident, a botched anesthesia during a triple-bypass", Vonnegut writes at the outset of this comical fictional adventure, a flirtation not with death so much as with our very aversion to it. In God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian, Vonnegut skips back and forth between life and the afterlife as if the difference between them were rather slight. All the qualities that make Kurt Vonnegut an inimitable voice - his irreverence, humor, love of humanity, and power to make readers stop and think - permeate this book of vignettes. In thirty-some "interviews" - with Sir Isaac Newton, Clarence Darrow, James Earl Ray, Eugene Debs, John Brown, Adolf Hitler, William Shakespeare, and Kilgore Trout, among others - Vonnegut trips down "the blue tunnel to the pearly gates" in the guise of a roving reporter for public radio.

This book is quite short, but nonetheless fun. Vonnegut's sharp wit and clever humor run rampant through the short "stories"; theyre more likeoverviews. Even in its short form, he still manages to get his point across. A great read if you have an extra 45 minutes lying around. You wont regret it.
