The first time I read this book I was a little underwhelmed after hearing so much about its popularity. Now, rereading it years and years later, I am completely in awe of this masterpiece.

I don't know if there can ever be a better example of a book the author was slowly building towards writing with every previous book. A synthesis of all his beliefs and experiences funnelled through a literary style he had perfected over two decades.

What a fresh take: Slaughterhouse-5 is good.
