God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater is the worst book I've ever read by Kurt Vonnegut. Vonnegut's usual rapid-paced prose and intense dialogue is largely absent in this somewhat preachy novel about wealth and charity. Though there are a few interesting scenes which may save the story from total failure, both the plot and main characters remain underdeveloped throughout most of the book. This was the first (and hopefully will remain the only) Vonnegut book I have ever struggled to finish.
