5.0

it's been a while since I've read this, but the moment I started again I remembered exactly why it's one of my favourite novels of all time. Vonnegut is effortlessly funny, in the way only deeply reflective authors can be, and provides interesting and clever commentary on the construct and understanding of life, death, time, and war. Slaughterhouse Five is simultaneously hilarious and deeply moving, and I doubt I will ever find another book like it.
