Slaughter House Five, by Kurt Vonnegut, is a book that deserves the title of a classic. This book follows an elderly man, Billy Pilgrim. About twenty years ago he lived through the bombing of Dresden, but just the thought of it haunts him today. He questions his actions and others actions as he intensely searches for answers inside his own head. Soon Billy begins to question humanity and its actions as society's misunderstanding of him grows larger and larger. Using dark humor and a very casual style of writing Vonnegut creates a book with sorrow and laughter. This book is a pretty quick read, but Vonnegut can sometimes trail off into different subjects making it tough to follow and creating a slower paced style.
This book is a good read with laughter and sadness throughout its pages.
I recommend this book for anyone looking for a great book.
it sounds really cool
