Put simply, I enjoyed this book. It made me laugh out loud at times and I appreciate any book That can do that. Kurt Vonnegut does a great job of highlighting many of the things wrong with human society, mostly Brought on by our big brains and sometimes with a little help from our hands. On slavery: 'How can you enslave someone When all you have are flippers and a mouth?' To recap a few other critics out there, I do believe Slaughter-House Five to be Kurt Vonnegut's best book so far. Though, admittedly, I've only read a few. But this is quiet a good book. If you choose to read it, enjoy! To other reviewers: Limit what you say - most of us do not need to read to essay or 1,000 word synopsis. And try not to give away too much!
