I just finished Slaughterhouse 5. I wasn't that bothered by it, do you think I'll struggle with OP's posted book, too?

I'll admit I may be missing a great reference here. To take you literally though, cats cradle is great and I'd say more "entertaining" than slaughterhouse.

One of the greatest novels I've ever read, if not the very best.
