How do you descripe the undescripeable? 
It is not possible, except in the most absurd and surrial way. Completely devorced Vonnegut toys with implications and absurd annekdotes to make the incomprehensable, haunting expirience of war an understandable thing you can grabble with.

My brain is still fried from The Count of Monte Cristo, but this was a nice refresher. A quick read with dark humor and a very interesting writing style. Kurt Vonnegut is great.
