2.0 out of 5 stars Between Time and A Bonfire, January 28, 1998
This review is from: Time & Timbuktu (Paperback)
As has already been said: this piece was not written by Vonnegut, and it shows. The pieces that they use are good, some of the new stuff works too, but it doesn't hold together. The plot looks like shotgun spray on a barn wall. Pieces hit well here and there, but they don't connect. The tang part is good, a wonderful reason to read this short piece, but don't expect any coherence.

2.0 out of 5 stars Between a Rock and a Hard Place, July 6, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Time & Timbuktu (Paperback)
My favorite thing about this "Vonnegut's greatest hits" attempt is that he didn't actually write it; rather, it is an attempt by network television to capitalize on the successful moments of his books and short stories. Well, it doesn't work. The "Plot device" is so weak it walks on thin ice-nine; an astronaut trapped in a time warp that throws him into the best moments of Vonnegut's books? Why not give them proper films of their own? And most importantly, how about giving the true authors the blame where it is due? The original idea's are Vonneguts, but this plundering is not. A capitalist bankruptcy

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful TV Movie. Esp. Handicap scene., February 23, 1998
This review is from: Time & Timbuktu (Paperback)
Loved this when I saw it on TV. Then checked it out at the Long Beach Library 15 years ago as a TV script. Now saw it with pictures! Great! Enjoy
