Slaughterhouse-Five: A Novel

My first time reading Vonnegut and it did not disappoint. I've already purchased Cat's Cradle.

An amazing and utterly moving read. The subject matter tied with Vonnegut's originality and unusual story-telling style makes this a must read.

Here is a book you can just pick up and finish and its all the more powerful for it. We have a fractured narrative with that Vonnegut stereotype the bumbling everyman as its central character. He also places himself in the narrative in a really personal and moving way. The book is powerful, ironic and terse, however I sometimes wonder if the sum is greater than the parts.

I love Kurt Vonnegut....re-reading this one.
