Slaughterhouse 5

This book is one of the representative works of the author Vonnegut. The work continues the author's consistent absurd plots and cold black humor. It examines the "heroes", weaklings, enemies, and allies in the war from the perspective of prisoners of war. The setting of time travel further strengthens the bizarre and absurd feeling of the article. The tangible and invisible contrasts and exaggerated language seem to be the revolving door of a mental patient before his death, but this may be the projection of the trauma left by the war on the protagonist's heart. All the people, things, and things in the book seem meaningless, but that's just the way it is. The real world is not full of flowers. The life and soul fighting against this absurd world are the most cheerful drama and the greatest protagonist in the universe.

The idea is exquisite and wonderful without any expectation. It seems to be unimaginable, but the cruelty of war is written through the back of the paper with a satirical and helpless writing style. There is no more powerful description of war than looking directly at the ruins and death on the front lines.

The writing method is unique. It goes through the life of a small person who is not even a real soldier during the war. The jumping timeline is like science fiction but not science fiction. It makes readers feel the cruelty of war and the trauma it brings to people more strongly. When I first saw the title and introduction of the book, I imagined that it would be a book with a post-war background of misery and madness similar to "Child No. 44", But after reading it, I found that it was completely different. This book does not directly write about war, but uses black humor to express the pain vividly and delicately.

From a literary point of view, the narrative method of this book is very novel and interesting, giving people the feeling that "you can't read it without a little bit of schizophrenia". But as a "banned book", I don't know if there are any deletions, but I don't think it is so shocking.

The books about war that I have read before are all serious and heavy, but this book is uncharacteristically humorous. The protagonist does not really travel through time, but these painful and beautiful times have become fragments, allowing him to repeat them again and again, unable to escape. War is so brutal, "that's just the way it is."

Excellent anti-war work. To be honest, before I read this book, I thought the protagonist was captured and taken to an alien slaughterhouse when I saw the signature. But in fact, the content of the story is far heavier than I imagined. May the world never have war, and the iron bees shot out will eventually turn into white doves of peace.

This book is not written in the handwriting of a traditional writer, but in a half-autobiographical, half-science fiction fragmented writing technique, it writes out all the thoughts of a World War II soldier who suffered physical and mental damage from the war. His fragmented "superpowers" gave him his own thoughts on war and life, and also wrote about the writers, politicians of that era, etc. It is a judgment on the war, but after all it is the author's own experience. His body and mind were actually torn apart during the war years. The author did not clarify the so-called good and evil, but pursued beauty and opposed war. However, politics always ignores people and makes terrible "destroying" actions of mankind for the sake of profit, covering up the true situation. The author uses novel writing methods to awaken or correct people's thinking. It even had a great effect!

Awesome (I thought a lot in my mind, but I didn't know how to express it, so after thinking about it again, I decided to use the most unpretentious two words to express my praise)

I feel that people who have experienced cruel wars are really unfortunate. The Dresden incident is even more shocking. Bi used his time travel to witness the cruelty of the war. It seems nonsensical, but it is not.

The plot of this book is so strange, it's like traveling through different time and space in a time machine. Billy's experience reminded me of my grandfather, who always told me stories about his youth. We should cherish our current life and at the same time be wary of the dangers of war. I hope the world will be peaceful, just like what the book says.

"At least the war part is real." The author uses the term "time travel" to write about the truth about the Dresden bombing that was concealed by the US military during World War II. In war, there are no heroes, only countless common people who died unjustly. Even those soldiers who were pushed onto the battlefield were originally just ordinary people. May the world be at peace.

War is cruel, causing the living to die, and the still living to be as numb and desperate as the dead. That's it

It's okay, but I didn't finish it. Anyway, I can't stand it. If you look at it, you'll know it's very deep. I didn't understand it. It's a good book.

It's time to take medicine, (shrugs) That's how it is [laughing evilly]

It tells the story of Billy, a World War II soldier who was captured by the German army and imprisoned in the German city of Dresden. There, he survived an air raid and was lucky enough to survive being imprisoned in Slaughterhouse Five. After returning home, he suffered severe mental trauma after the war and began to imagine that he was kidnapped by the people of Tralfamador. He continued to travel through time and space and witnessed his own life, death and fragments of his life.

It's very interesting. The blend of fantasy and reality makes people feel Billy's trauma even more. Orz

I really like the narrative style of this book and the abilities of the protagonist, but I don't know if it's a translation problem, it doesn't feel that humorous [facepalm]

May the world always be peaceful

Real and objective, multi-dimensional analysis

The language is very tense

It's all about black humor, but it's all pain and suffering [crying]

The first novel I listened to

From this book on, I fell in love with literature.

I think that's fine, that's what it is

That's how it is, may there be world peace

It can only be like this, that's it... What else can I do? (Shrugs)
