Summary: WARNING: SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW
Comment: I don't think the reviewer from England (and many others for that matter) understood that Billy Pilgrim went insane from the horrors he saw, and there were no aliens or time warps. It is simply a scatalogical novel, much live Pulp Fiction was a scatological movie. And much like Pulp Fiction, the story in Slaughterhouse Five was told this way to leave the biggest impact on the reader as possible. And it does.
Rating: 3
Summary: Confused!
Comment: Don't know if it's just me, but I couldn't work this book out at all. Sure, I understood it but I couldn't really see what it was getting at. I understand this book is considered a literary classic in the USA so maybe it's because I'm a dumb English guy but, whilst I enjoyed it to a point, I couldn't really relate to it at all.
So, three stars because I'm sure some of you will like it but it wasn't my cup of tea.

Summary: Not easy, but worth the effort
Comment: You have to accept this Vonnegut-style, or you will be disappointed just by his strange ideas about time-warp, extraterrestrials and his special wit. If you fight through, you will find more than this - it's a short book about a man/child, driven into WWII although neither grown-up nor a real soldier, just to be imprisoned by the germans to work for them. Through several timeshifts he tells us about his life, youth, WWII including the horrendous bombing of Dresden, his later life as an optometrist and ... ohh no - it's short enough that you can read it for yourself. Try it, but don't beat me nor the writer for not matching your special taste in books :-)
