Quality book, very funny characters and plot. Kind of wished there were more sci-fi or abnormal parts.
Honestly I think this might be one of my favorite books of all time. The story was wild and engaging. I would often think about the characters and stories even after I put the book down. There was humorous dialogue every few pages and Vonnegut's writing kept me questioning my own way of looking at the world.
One of the best books that I have ever read. I love Kurt Vonnegut's humor and this book made me view war and death very differently. The time travel and Billy's disconnection from reality makes him view the world more objectively. I also felt disconnected from reality when I was reading this book. It made me view WWII as a battle between two uncaring forces instead of an emotional and political battle between two superpowers. Billy's time travel makes the war feel insignificant and he quickly finds out who wins, loses, and dies. The amount of death and newborn life in this book also made me think of those events as insignificant. Things happen, lives change, but the world keeps on spinning. Billy sees all these horrible events and the narrator is quite unfazed.
I first read this book in my 12th grade English class with Dr. Matt Beery. I listened to this book again while I worked at Romo Fabrics during the summer of my senior year of high school.
Absolutely fantastic book. I loved the buildup and the twist ending. The book ends so suddenly that I had to immediately read the squeal.
Amazing story. I love Clarke's creativity and his references to real astronomical topics.
I thought it was better than the previous book in the series (Xenocide), but this book was nothing special.
Absolutely fantastic. There was never a dull moment. The plot was creative and there was a great amount of character development.
I was bored while I was reading the book. The book does a great job of describing what surveillance is and how the NSA collects information, but the book didn't offer any interesting insight on this topic.
Very funny, interesting read. Most of the character conflict is kind of dull though, also missing those sci fi elements from other Vonnegut titles.
I can't say that I liked it very much. The first half of the book was very slow and I found the characters to be boring. The plot didn't start to pick up until the second half of the book and there were many pieces of the plot that seemed forced in and unnatural. This book ended in a cliffhanger and even though that I don't have high hopes for the next book in the series, I want to read it to find out what happens next.
