I am not sure what to say in this review. My thoughts are scattered, much like Billy's time warped and time travelling throughout the book.
At the beginning, I did not like Slaughterhouse-Five much. In fact, I was confused on how and why did it manage to be an acclaimed cult classic. I also failed to comprehend the satiric value.
However, things changed for the better after the first 50 pages. I was glad for this turning point as I did want to like this book. And Kurt Vonnegut did not disappoint. ...more

What a crazy, moving, twisted anti-war tale this is. I really enjoyed it and can see why it is a cult classic. What particularly interested me was the statistics about how many people were killed in the Dresden bombing when compared to other incidents like the Hiroshima bomb. Beautiful wording, and incredibly sad in points, it made me think - just what IS the point?!
