jonscott9 's review for:
Slaughterhouse-Five
by Kurt Vonnegut
Sometimes this book made me want to laugh and cry (or vice versa), and in the same paragraph. The depictions of the Dresden bombings and its survivors at the tail end of World War II are compelling, and due to Vonnegut's own experience in the holding camp. This is the quirkiest war book you'll ever read.
A few laugh-out-loud moments of hilarious despair are sprinkled in. Vonnegut was a master at blurring the lines between fantasy and history and giving us, ultimately, reality, or a realism that helps us cope somewhat.
I'll never forget Billy Pilgrim or the planet known as Tramalfadore.
