Overall, I enjoyed this. I've been trying to read more classics this year, and I've found that there's a reason these kinds of books are so frequently taught in schools; it's because they're hard to understand otherwise. There's usually so much meaning beneath the surface of the words. But even knowing that there's most certainly more to this book than what I've gathered on my first time reading, I also was able to simply enjoy the story. 
 The tone and voice of the narrator was easy to understand, and the story was easy to follow. I was able to enjoy Slaughterhouse-Five at face value. That's what's most important to me. And because of that, I'm also more interested in researching the story a little bit more and even reading it again in the future to see what I've inevitably missed this first time.
