Dit boek zou beter geweest zijn als komedie.

I had high expectations for 'Slaughterhouse-Five,' but I found the execution disappointing. While the anti-war and fatalistic themes are prevalent, their presentation feels fragmented and disjointed. The frequent shifts in time and perspective disrupt the narrative flow, making it challenging to fully engage with the story. Despite its important themes, the novel's execution undermines its impact.

Just really wonderfully formatted in the sense that it keeps multiple storylines sensible but still leaves the reader with a sense of fracture. It's outlandishly believable.
