For too long I’ve been away from my much loved books as life snuck up and carried me away in other directions. Anxious to get back to reading again I decided the first book to tackle would have to be from the 1001 Books to Reads Before you Die list and who could be better than Vonnegut to ease me ba...
:( Vonnegut, porque te nos moriste. Como empezar a reseñar Slaughterhouse-Five... es una historia de "ciencia ficción" que tiene tanta realidad que duele. Al principio Vonnegut logra un poco distraerte de las cosas horribles que suceden en el libro poniendo chistes, y haciendo juegos de palabras. Al...
Reviewing a classic, especially one as popular as this, is quite intimidating and difficult. Vonnegut's writing style is hard to describe - it seems so casual, so careless, and then there's a sentence that's pure genius and you're astounded that you haven't been taking him seriously this whole time....
Well that was an interesting experience....Slaughterhouse Five was nothing like I expected it to be. Not only was the subject not what I expected, but the format was not what I expected and the style and tone were unexpected. So what was I expecting? A sci-fi adventure through time. What did I...
I remember in my junior year, my whole class had to team up with another classmate and perform a skit person stung a character from two different books. A girl named Pratixa impersonate Katniss from Hunger Games. Her partner Dip (pronounced Deep) Rana was Billy Pilgrim and now that I finally read th...
This was a really interesting read. It's an odd little book written in images and chunks (like an alien book if Billy Pilgram is to be believed). The narrative is loose and dreamy, with little traditional structure, and focuses on the experiences of being a POW in WWII, and the bombing of Dresden. I...
Powerful book with lots of hard truths reflected on humanity by the mirror of irrevent fatalistic narrative. I read this in a single sitting, equally gripped and repulsed by the stories related in the fantastic non-linear timeline. This for me, like Camus' The Plague, The Stranger and Phillip K. Dic...
Vonnegut is funny and bitter and honest, as he should be when writing about that most ridiculous of topics: war. This was an incredibly fast read, it seems like no sooner had I picked it up for my book club it was finished.It seems like my all of book-club books, despite the long discussions I have ...
aqui Billy Prilgrim é um veterano da guerra. Ele esteve em Dresden, na Alemanha, quando a destruição da cidade devido às bombas se deu. A sua participação na Segunda Guerra Mundial traz-lhe muitas recordações infelizes. Mas é após Billy ter tido um acidente de aviação e ter fracturado o seu crânio q...
