My Review
What an odd, discombobulated, yet perfectly executed non-linear story about the horrors of World War II, its survivors, and its dead. So it goes. I'll admit, I didn't like this at first. I had just finished the first three books of The Empyrean, which were highly addictive and engaging. So this was just babbling by a lunatic. But I continued reading and learned to like Billy Pilgrim and his strange tale. Unusual? Absolutely. Weird? Yes. Absurd? Yes. Interesting? Definitely.
