This is the first book I've read from Kurt Vonnegut and it's honestly not what I expected. Regardless, I felt a lot of emotions while reading and especially that funny, empty feeling you get once you finish a good book. I can understand how this has been a classic. I absolutely adored the writing style, the non-linear storytelling, the quips, the heartbreaks, tragedies and unfairness of war, and just the sense of being of a person who's been through a lot and has to keep reliving a lot. I'd love to revisit this again a few years from now, I know this will keep living in my head rent free
