Slaughterhouse-Five

Kurt Vonnegut

4.06 AVERAGE


I have major respect for the way that Vonnegut structured this novel. Flashes and images incorporated between scenarios. I can understand the criticism that some may had towards the confusion that the novel brings, but I argue that that is what makes this novel exciting. Vonnegut reminds us to live our lives by the moment and that life doesn't end but lives through the moments that we have created.
