"So it goes."- A very appropriate phrase to summarize this book, Vonnegut style. 
 Ever since I read many of Vonnegut's short stories in English Lit I was fascinated with his way of conveying a message, be it politics or morals, via science fiction. So reading Slaughterhouse Five was bound to happen. 
 To be honest, reading Slaughterhouse Five (while on a cruise ship, mind you) was like being sucked into an enjoyable whirlwind and then dropped out wondering what on earth really happened, but having this feeling of supreme satisfaction. I never felt let down, bored, or frustrated. I enjoyed every page, laughed at his dry humor, and loved the characters and different elements. I think that Vonnegut is a true creative writer, as he writes with joy but with an underlying purpose, and does it in a way that sneaks past the reader without the reader realizing that they are enjoying it or learning from it until the very end. I'd recommend his writing any day.
