An incredible recounting of the firebombing of Dresden and an emotional retelling of how people change after intense trauma that left me giggling at parts and soberly understanding exactly what Billy Pilgrim was experiencing at others. Vonnegut pulls no punches when describing the atrocities of war and spares no detail in depicting exactly how it has fractured the mind of his protagonist, and the effects that fracturing has.

I understand why this book is often chosen to be read in school. It was a good and compelling read and i tend to dislike historical fiction. The time jump aspect really made it so interesting to read. Full of black humor and irony.
