This was a very powerful book that kept me engaged through both humor and tragedy.

If you're ever in Cody, Wyoming, just ask for Wild Bob.

An odyssey of a story that follows Billy Pilgrims adventures through love and war; life and death; time and space and the ways people cope from trauma and how it reshapes their past, present and future. 

An anti-war novel that encapsulates the desensitization of genocide and the horrors of both war and death. On the surface, this book screams what seem to be a bunch of random nothings, but, it’s not until the end do you hear the meaning of the words and Billy’s story.
