An easy read which switches between moments in Billy Pilgrims life on Earth and Tralfamadore, sanity, insanity & the effects of war. Thought-provoking but not preachy, humorous but not funny, sad but not angry.

I accidentally ordered on my Kindle and decided to keep it. I had such trouble picking it up the first 100 or so pages - thought to myself "why am I reading this?" It's not a subject, war, specifically WWII, that I'm at all interested in. It got better as it went along - much better. Inspiring characters, inspiring generation, learned a lot and ended up enjoying the book. Glad I persevered and read it.
