Title :: Slaughterhouse-five
Author :: Kurt Vonnegut
Completed :: Mar 04 2008
Challenges :: 1001 Books
Rating :: 2/5

I've been wanting to read Vonnegut for awhile but I have to be honest I wasn't impressed with this book. It was witty and original but just not my cup of tea, not to mention the fact that I really don't dig stories involving aliens... This was another case of expecting a certain type of story, having no idea where I got such an idea but in any case being absolutely off. Oh well, there were a few chuckles here and there. And it's on THE LIST and now I've read it. Sorry this is probably the worst review ever!
