This book is difficult to rate on one hand it’s really good and has a dark humor I really enjoy. It’s quirky and has a interesting way of telling the story billy pilgrims mental health ptsd as he has flashbacks l. There’s a lot of symbolism about how we see and irony of the optometrists. But it also was a slower read and I hate to say it was boring. It feels like a betrayal. Best I can say is I respect this book so much for what it’s doing and I’m so glad I read it.

the comfort in this novels absurdity is unparalleled.

the novels able to share an extremely tragic and dark story while simultaneously cracking jokes and making the weight of the book feel so light. a must read for those who appreciate more reflective historical pieces with some nice sci fi.

“You’ll pretend you were men instead of babies, you’ll be played in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some other glamorous, war loving, dirty old men. And war will look just wonderful, so we’ll have a lot more of them. And they’ll be fought by babies like the babies upstairs.” - Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five
