A very solid adaptation of Slaughterhouse-Five. I really felt like the graphic novel format made a lot of the more confusing, jumping around in space and time elements of the source novel easier to follow. I really liked how transitions were handled. The art was pretty good. The only major thing that I felt that was missing in this adaptation was a lot of the natural humor of Vonnegut's narration.

i read the novel first and then immediately read the graphic novel for the added context. slaughterhouse-five is a dense read and the first chapter was the hardest part of the book but once i made it past that it was a pretty good sci-fi/war novel
