Utterly original...capable of moving from irony to lament within a sentence
Guardian
Reading Timequake... I feel privileged to have spent several hours in the company of a most genial, affable and upbeat soul indeed...a wise, winning and utterly charming concoction of fiction, commentary and autobiography
Literary Review
Timequake is sweet, wild and cock-eyed... Vonnegut has always had a true comic ear... A beautifully fastidious writer, utterly original
Guardian
Fascinating digressions, epigrams and memories, vitalised by Vonnegut's irrepressible intelligence and comic imagination, creating a movingly intimate work
Harper's Bazaar
Highly entertaining... The portraits of Vonnegut's first wife, brother and sister are beautiful, sharp, critical, loving
New York Times Book Review
This is the indispensible Vonnegut.
San Francisco Chronicle
Wry and trenchant . . . highly entertaining.
The New York Times Book Review
His funniest book since Breakfast of Champions . . . There are nuggets of Vonnegutian wisdom throughout.
Newsweek
Timequake is a novel by, and starring, Kurt Vonnegut . . . What Vonnegut does, which no one can do better, is give a big postmodern shrug . . . You've got to love him.
The Washington Post Book World
Humorous, sardonic . . . Timequake makes for irresistible reading that's loaded with more important truths than it lets on . . . Moralizing has never been funnier.
