Odd

The book is great, I loved the writing and plot but at times I thought it was odd. But not enough to make me stop reading. I really liked it.

Great book

I thought this would be an anti war book but instead it’s a book about PTSD. Very imaginative and creepy. A man looses his mind as he can’t cope with the horrors of what we are capable of as humans, even in a good war.

A gripping trek through space and time

You will love Vonnegut’s guttural prose and masterful play with time-travel and science-fiction as a metaphor of the mind-bending, senseless horrors of War.
