The first chapter was so well done and I loved the narration and set up there. The parts will Billy Pilgrim were less compelling, I think just because of the character and the disjointed storytelling (although I know that was the point).

Really interesting interpretation of ptsd. I also love the idea that we don’t die, we’re alive in all the moments we are remembered in. Although I can understand Vonnegut’s perspective on how difficult it is to grapple with that when you have bad moments. But I think this book shows us it’s just as important to remember the bad as it is the good - maybe more so.

Absurd and genre-bending! You never really know what’s real or what’s Billy’s imagination. 
I’m currently contemplating whether to give it 3.75 or 4 stars
Idk if it’s satire or not but Vonnegut does not know how to write women characters (very misogynistic at times)
