Slaughterhouse Five

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


*** Possible Spoilers ***

I read this in the past but had forgotten it until I got a brief way into the book. This time I DNFed it at about the 50% mark. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. uses a droll approach to creating irony and it doesn't work. It may have worked back in the early 70s when the book was possible and such irony was in vogue but it no longer works today. I seem to remember liking it the first time but his technique wears thin awfully fast.
