Slaughterhouse-five

Slaughterhouse Five


By: Kurt Vonnegut
Reviewed by: Yaz, 16
Rating: Really liked it


This was a very wuick and interesting read for me. I'd have to say this is one of the best "sci-fi" books I've read but honestly I don't think it's really a sci-fi book at all. It's almost a poem, yet written in easy to understand prose. It's fantastic but only illustrates the realities and absurdities of day to day living.

This book is quite a unique experience, and even if you hate sci-fi you might pick it up since it's a different experience than the genre implies. Even satire doesn't seem to sum it up as there is a human warmth here that is absent from many other books labeled "satire."


Recommended to: 13+, everyone
