    Compelling read.

    Had heard a lot about this book--it is a cult classic. Never found it before. Knew the base subject was the destruction of Dresden through a survivor's eyes and expected doom and gloom and grim reality. But the very grotesque humour highlights how crazy and wasteful war is. And how human spirit survives despite it. Worth waiting for.

  • Slaughterhouse 5

    Hmm ... It is a clever book, but I have to admit, it wasn't compelling or a particularly easy read. Yes, I can see why Vonnegut was so highly praised, but it's not a book I'll return to.

  • Good book for a chill price.

    Good book for a good price. Timeless book. Costs some pocket change. It was just a bid odd that the books were clearly different prints. With another being a bit inferior.

  • Compellingly random weirdness

    'Slaughterhouse 5' refers to the address where the hero, Billy Pilgrim survives the firestorm in Dresden in WW2 along with some other American POWs. The story is all about his adventures as he pops in and out of various times, including a spell on another planet. It's a compelling read in the same way as a lot of war books are; there is a lot of pointless death, bleakness, injustice and random weirdness. It is also fairly short at 177 pages. I recommend it.
