Vonnegut did not disappoint. Interesting narrative style that goes along with what I interpreted to be the thematic purpose of the novel - that as much as we try to make life like a story, with a linear progression and a beginning, middle and end - life doesn't actually work like that. It kind of moves up and down and around and then ends, often abruptly and without significant meaning. Well, also the anti-war stuff, but I went into it knowing it had those undertones. Discovering this other thematic thread was much more gratifying. A great book to mull over in between all the academic books I've been reading recently.
