The book “Cat’s craddle” is a great light read for someone looking to question delve into a differing belief. The book opens up with a main theme of the narrators belief. But is focused on revolving around the narrator novel on the creator of the atomic bomb.
The novel revolves around the narrator writing his own story about creator of the atomic bomb. This base story is a great central theme that is strong enough to be its own book. However the narrator speaks of his faith in the past tense as he has already lived these events and is sharing past. This novel however to modern reads wouldn't be a highly recommend book. This book has no epic action or thrilling suspense to it. But is why this book is amazing. Because it is a simple book that discusses the morales of life with out the exaggeration of copious other fiction novels.
Although I will spoil the resolution of the novel you can’t formally spoil this novel as the joy of reading the thoughts, ideas, and morals are the true adventure and climax of the novel. Halfway through the novel A group of the characters venture to an island where the meet the suffering but prideful people. There is where the “action” of the book happens as they discover where the reminisce of the all might substance is. And the exciting plot flows through.
This novel would be great for those who are looking to do a quick school project that doesn't require too much in-depth reading. But is leaning on the complex side with an colorful array of words used. Its short with roughly 250 pages and seems to fly by fast. I seemingly thought this novel to be similar to Life of Pi, Catcher in the Rye, and To Kill a Mocking bird. These are of there novels I really liked, and would also recommend. Overall this Novel is a interesting life changing book that will make you rethink your faith.

Satire, touché in cheek philosophy, poking fun at all groups of society, all parts of this writing. Shades of Jim jones and crew. The arms race and science gone bad are all arts of theis apocylaptic story. Do you see the cradle? Do you see the cat?

Not sure what the story was about. And the book didn't even have an author on the cover.
