 slaughter house five May 2, 2008
Thoroughly enjoyed the book. Have wanted to read it for years. Ordering and shipping very efficient. Thank You
An introduction to Vonnegut May 1, 2008
One of the first 'science fiction' books I ever read. Really whet my appetite for the genre. Vonnegut does not sacrifice character development for quirks of plot. Surprisingly easy to follow, despite all the jumping about in time.

It is not my usual stuff but it had some interesting ideas. I have to admit though that I checked out the Spark Notes just to make sure I was keeping up with everything. The "getting unstuck" and traveling back and forth through time was a bit nerve racking but in the end, I understood why he did it. At least I think I do. Either Vonnegut is a literary genius or a complete fool. Judging from his popularity though I am going to say that it is the former. If not, we are all the latter.

The man known as Kurt Vonnegut is an absolute genius with the pen. I will admit that the first chapter of this story is very drab and unappealing to read but it is still an amazing novel in the middle. The detail that Vonnegut puts into all of his characters is amazing; no matter how unimportant they are to the story he still adds enough description so that you can picture the characters in your head. The way that the book jumps from one place in time to another is amazingly done. This book has its sad parts and its glad parts but all the parts when put together make an awesome book.

Nothing I can say would ever add to the legacy this book already has. So let's just accent it: The best.
