5.0

This book pulled me in from the first few pages and refused to relinquish its hold until I finished it, pretty much in one sitting. It's funny, cynical, absurd, disillusioned, and very cleverly cyclical. Billy Pilgrim is the perfect protagonist to offset the horrors of the Dresden bombing, and even though Dresden is the peak of the novel, there's so much more to it (including an alien abduction and Billy's own assassination).

had no idea what to expect from this, and i'm so glad i read it at a time when this kind of gentle absurdity is exactly the kind of thing i love to experience
