Not quite sure I got all of that. I’ll be curious to meet for book club and hear what others thought. There were a lot of plot lines and I wasn’t always sure I understood the metaphors that Vonnegut was going for. It was an interesting look at war and the military.  

Those first 20 pages might be a slog to get through, but once that happens the book flies by. I finished it in a day. It's that good.
