Timequake. I love Vonnegut but I just remember it being impossible to follow and overall not interesting.

That was my intro to Vonnegut and I rather enjoyed it. Enough to read more from him which is when I realized it wasn't a great book.

I think it was only the worst book for me because of how high my hopes were.

I think I had the same feeling the first time I read Sirens of Titan. Then I read it a few years later, and it just clicked and I was enthralled by the long crazy ride.
