Outside Reading #4

For this outside reading, I am going to comment on the rest of the book, "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut. I really liked this book, and I thought it was really interesting. Basically, throughout the rest of the book, I got more familiar with the whole time travel aspect, which really helped me understand it better. Once understanding that, I was able to familiarize myself with his thoughts and the significance of the "flashbacks." I really liked the idea of the Tramalfadorians capturing Billy and how they placed him in a zoo on their homeland. The whole 4 dimensional thing was really cool, and Kurt Vonnegut gave a good way of describing it with still leaving much room for imagination. Moving on towards the end of the novel, I liked how the book ended, but I thought that I would be open to different endings. I thought it was strange that such a dreary and dismal book could end in such a happy and satisfying way. Anyway, I am overall pleased with this read and happy that I chose it.
