Slaughterhouse-Five

Rating:
Summary: A very weird story
Review: I didn't like this book at all. First of all, I beleive Vonnegut is a sicko. He writes about things that are so outrageous. The flashbacks did bother me some, and Billy Pilgrim, in my opinion is a loony. I had to read this in my English class and I would not recommend this book to anyone. I despise books about war and the loss of the mind, while people travel in time to the planet of Tralmafadore...very strange novel...I would have given it a one, but I have to admit that it wasn't too boring and was not slow at all.

Summary: The Very Best of Vonnegut
Review: The oddessy of Billy Pilgrim is the best I have read from Kurt Vonnegut, who is often masterful. He is at his peak here because everything he's ever done well he does well here- the falsely detached narrator, the nonlinear time structure, the unique humor which makes important moral points, but often offhand, and with a potty mouth, the sense of forces much larger than the characters. And of course the aliens. On the one hand great science fiction humor, on the other a compelling exploration of the psychology of great trauma, and how a man's life can bend around it so it's always before him.

Summary: Don't waste your time with this one
Review: Why the fuss with this book? It was boring, tedious, and made no point. Vonnegut's works are depressing and life-hating, which stems from his suicidal tendencies.

Rating:
Summary: This is a great book, that you just can't put down.
Review: This book is great for so many reasons the characters are so interesting. You get into the characters and you just read. It's hard to put this book down. I myself finished this book in one day i couldn't put it down. Oh and it is extremely hard to get me to read.

Summary: Denfines classic
Review: Kurt Vonnegut is one of thee greatest living authors. His work never fails to disappoint me. His witty satire and writing style is amazing beyond words. Slaughterhouse Five is my favorite of all his books. Its message rings so true. This book is truely an American classic. It is a must read for anyone and everyone. Some may not get the message or symbolism in the book but "so it goes"

Rating:
Summary: A truly great book
Review: Come on, how could you not like this book? You've got a big fat woman, aliens, singing and dancing British P.O.W.s (one of the funniest moments I've ever read), and most importantly, a storyteller that dismisses everything with...So it goes. A great book, if you want sarcastic and bitter and funny stuff. I loved it.

Rating:

Summary: A very pleasing book, by a great author
Review: When you read Slaughter House-Five you'll find yourself thinking as Billy does. You also discover that is what all the controversy about the book is about and you wont be able to put it down. Kurt Vonnegut has written many good books and this is definetly one of them!!!

Rating:
Summary: Poetry, Pure Beauty
Review: Slaughter House Five is more than an American classic. It is truth and poetry and so much more. I am not an over zealous fan when I say that this book is truly the best ever written. It is. "God bless you", Mr. Vonnegut.

Rating:
