I'm a highly believer that most of the time we don't choose the book but that the book chooses us, and it does when it thinks it's time. That happened with this book. This beautiful work of art narrates, through travels in time and comments verging on dark humor, the life of a common person that h...
Good Hello People! Well, I'm going to do a quick review on Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Slaughterhous-Five is one of the world's great anti-war books. Centering on the infamous fire-bombing of Dresden, Billy Pilgrim's odyssey through time reflects the mythic journey of our own fracture...
Billy Pilgrim becomes unstuck in time and experiences the events of his life out of chronological order.
