Query: Timequake not worth the time

I only forced myself to finish reading Timequake because I was still expecting something really brilliant or witty to happen (certainly misled by the cover reviews). But the truth is, it doesn't happen.With all due respect to a great writer, this book is a big disappointment.In my eyes, Vonnegut's narration is that of a semi-senile, proud man. He repeats; he explains and clarifies the obvious (killing even the slightest chance of irony); he holds an authoritative tone of "Listen to this:"; and he boasts about his life's achievements like a grandfather to his grandchildren.Not the book I had hoped for.
