Book Reporr on GALAPOS by Kurt Vonnegut

Book Report GALAPOS ISLANDS By Kurt Vonnegut. This story was written to take place while Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was still alive. She is barely in it, she was invited to an event, accepted, then turned down the invitation along with other celebrities. It was billed as the “Cruise of the Century” Hundreds were to, but mostly only some of the help showed up. Charles Darwin, visited the islands in the 1800s and by studying the undisturbed by progress figured out Evolution and The Survival of the Fittest. The captain of the ship knows nothing about being a captain. He is just an impressive handsome figurehead. His assistant really gives commands and run things. If you are a Vonnegut fan and ran some of his books you know of the reappearing struggling science fiction writer Kilgore Trout. He is not in it, but his son is. The whole premise is that while at sea everybody in the world are done away with. They are the only humans left on earth. It is a humorous and it is deep. It is also confusing, some things I never did figure out. But it is an enjoyable read.
