I was hesitant to start this after DNFing catch-22 but the inclusion of sci-fi turned it from war satire to batshit insane. The second half of the book gets funnier too.

Very interesting and engaging, but not a favorite of mine or anything. I definitely want to read more Kurt Vonnegut though!

‘And what do the birds say? All there is to say about a massacre, things like “Poo-tee-weet?”’

I liked the writing style and the bulk of the story. Was fucked up and a bit comedic.
The way women were written in this was kinda bad.
My favourite part is still the opening chapter though.

When you show up to a hater competition and Roland Weary is there: 🏃🏃🏃🏃

Confusing at times if you try to make more sense of it than should be made. A look into an ache for meaning, making the most of situations, and the darkness of war. Aloof and casual about things most people would not be.
