5.0

this book is an absolutely brilliant example of nonlinear storytelling. i was hooked the entire time and extremely immersed in every scene. the humor caught me off guard many times and i almost laughed out loud on the metro while listening. and yet the book is so heavy and heartbreaking. i would recommend this to everyone, living or dead. so it goes.

Very interesting and engaging, but not a favorite of mine or anything. I definitely want to read more Kurt Vonnegut though!

Confusing at times if you try to make more sense of it than should be made. A look into an ache for meaning, making the most of situations, and the darkness of war. Aloof and casual about things most people would not be.
