2.0 out of 5 stars Billy Pilgrim's Life, March 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five (Barron's Book Notes) (Paperback)

I thought this book was too science fiction. The planet Tralfamadore and time traveling seemed to block out any useful theme the book might have. The book changes time too frequently and in a confusing way. It is not even tied together in the end. Maybe it is just because I do not especially like science fiction. I expected Slaughterhouse-Five to have a strong anti-war theme, but it turned out to be a science fiction book.

The time jumps are dizzying. Still I always remember Vonnegut characters vividly, I love strange characters.
