Review of "Slaughterhouse-five ; The sirens of Titan ; Player-piano ; cat's cradle ; Breakfast of champions ; Mother night" on 'Goodreads'

4 Sterne

Welcome to the strange world of Billy Pilgrim, who is unstuck in time, i.e. he is traveling through different periods of his life without knowing where he might end up next. This gives him an unconventional perception and understanding of life. Nevertheless, the ultimative anti-war book, not only because of the bombing of Dresden.

I loved every bit of this book.

5 Sterne

8 days ago I picked up a different book entirely - one of the classics - and found myself really struggling to get into it. After an hour I'd read the same 20 pages 3 or 4 times. It was no good, I wasn't enjoying it at all - something must be done!

So I put it down and instead reached into the bookshelf for comfort and enjoyment and my hand came across Kurt Vonnegut, as it so often has before.

This book was what the doctor ordered.

This book took me through time and space but mostly just through humanity.

This book taught me everything and nothing - as all good books should.

This book had me laughing out loud in the OBA Public Library, Oosterdokskade, Amsterdam Centraal, Holland, Earth, Solar System, Milky Way.

And so it goes.
