Title: Say What?
Review: This book has been on my TBR list for a while, but I just recently got around to reading it. Now I'm wondering what all the hype is about.Slaughterhouse is marketed as an anti-war novel. Honestly, I don't see the point. The book is basically a disjointed narrative that follows Billy Pilgrim, a man unstuck in time.Much like The Time-Traveler's Wife, this book follows the main character as he hops through time. The problem with this book however is that there is nothing to tie the time lines together. There is no stability, just a jump from one time to another, to another, to another, and so it goes.Then the narrative "jumps the shark" by sending Billy not just through time, but space- to an alien planet in outer space.I can't see where the anti-war theme emerged or made a prominent statement. To me it just seems like an ad ploy to sell another book
Is the review positive or negative?
