Reviews with content warning for War - Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children's Crusade: A Duty Dance with Death

this book is an absolutely brilliant example of nonlinear storytelling. i was hooked the entire time and extremely immersed in every scene. the humor caught me off guard many times and i almost laughed out loud on the metro while listening. and yet the book is so heavy and heartbreaking. i would recommend this to everyone, living or dead. so it goes.

All I can say is this is an unconventional war related book that says everything and nothing.
Highly recommend to highlight or underline things throughout first read because you WILL want to reread as soon as you finish this.
Really easy to read with a lot to unpack, loved the book and the author.

just not in the mood for this kinda book rn, maybe later on i’ll finish it cause it is a great book but i need some fantasy, i need some shit that’s not real and won’t make me have an existential crisis or something or make me loss all my faith in humanity
