Book Review of Slaughterhouse-Five

Slaughterhouse-Five
adamwaitt avatar reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


Blending reality and fantasy in this ping pong memory of war. Vonnegut is the master of telling you exactly what will happen but keep you guessing how. It is about the journey, not the destination. Metaphoric words of wisdom and nihilistic views of time are peppered throughout these passages. You could read this in a day or a year or never finish or all of those. So it goes.
