A review by stefo
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

dark funny fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

 Maybe not as weird as I expected it to be, but it still is quite the weird book. With the narration and storyline all over the place, it can be a little difficult to take in, so I recommend reading it in only a few sessions (thankfully its a rather quick read). Still, I do feel like the book definitely isn't going to appeal to everybody, but I dug it. The symbolism is neat, I like how there are a lot of interpretations about different things, the characters were pretty rich in character for such a short book and I certainly did enjoy the post-modern aspect of the whole book. Guess its a classic for a reason.
