This is the story of Billy Pilgrim, a man who becomes unstuck in time after he is abducted by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore.
It was about time that I got around to reading this book. So it goes. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed, because I thought I would love it. I think if the book had really been about the bombing of Dresden during WWII ( or should I say completely about Dresden, I might have liked it better.
I can't imagine experiencing something like this - but Vonnegut has a way of bringing it to life. He's able to depict these awful scenes, but use humour at just the right moment and in just the right way to keep things from getting too heavy.
This was my first Vonnegut book, and definitely not my last.
