My first Vonnegut book was a great read. The style is simple, short and to the point, which emphasises the humour and the all over the place writing and pace. It is a very easy read, and makes a very clear point. It's unique writing style kept me from putting it away, despite the story being clear from the start, in its idea, plot and motto.

I liked the dark humor and appreciated his efforts with the time travel and disjointed narrative as it really made me focus in on the plot.

Some of the metaphors/symbolism was lost on me so I may need to re-read this one moving forward but all in all it was a fine, quick read! 3 stars for being good but not memorable or powerful enough to stick with me in the future.
