Another odd one from Vonnegut! I really enjoyed the core concept of time. I'm sure a missed a lot of nuance but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.

‘And what do the birds say? All there is to say about a massacre, things like “Poo-tee-weet?”’
I liked the writing style and the bulk of the story. Was fucked up and a bit comedic.
The way women were written in this was kinda bad.
My favourite part is still the opening chapter though.
When you show up to a hater competition and Roland Weary is there: 🏃🏃🏃🏃

I’d love an anti-war sci-fi manifesto that’s not dipping its toes (and, honestly, its whole being) in misogyny. “Slaughterhouse-Five” is, unfortunately, not the one. I appreciate the prose but I’m too old and cynical to idolize said prose’s creator that takes any opportunity to trivialize or dehumanize his accessory-like female characters.
Aged terribly.

A refreshing take on a war novel - despite being disjointed and lacking real depth it felt like you got to know the characters and different times very well. Read it very quickly and did enjoy it, especially the message about life and the blend of science fiction that although was insane, didn’t take over the book too much. Love the way it was written, the use of repetition and comic relief made it unique and a very enjoyable read.
