Slaughterhouse-five

Or, The Children's Crusade, a Duty-dance With Death

Classifying this as a great literary telling of an anti-war story is a bit deceiving. A poorly written account of a man's life, it does focus on absurdity. Confusing is an understatement; I would love some explanation of why aliens were involved. There are almost no coherent events at all. If I'm reading an anti-war book, I'd like to come away knowing why the author despises the violence. I'd also like to know what the purpose of reading the book was. Lacking characters the reader cares about, abundant in poor writing style, and boasting no overarching concept, message, or theme whatsoever, this is not a book I'd recommend.
