Loved it, loved it, loved it. Some hilarious remarks, but ultimately a crass yet beautiful commentary on how powerless we are to fate and the inevitability of war. Really enjoyed it, and found the main character Billy Pilgrim’s indifference at the horrors and misfortunes of his world fascinating. Gave me similar vibes to Albert Camus’ ‘The Stranger’. Great book.
