Slaughterhouse-Five: Overall Reflection
I really enjoyed this book the whole way through. The frequent flashes to different points in time in Billy's memory were really entertaining for me. In addition to this, I really enjoyed the overall message the book had. It didn't have a polarizing view on war, but rather a balanced one that brought about certain aspects of it in social commentary. Vonnegut really portrayed the horrors of war in a different light that I was not used to. I really enjoyed this, even if it was revealed to me through unrealistic techniques. So overall, I would say that this and Frankenstein were my favorite works of the year. I'm glad I chose this book and am also glad to be finished with these blogs.
