I'll probably skim through it but what was explained doesn't make any sense.

Because it's told through the point of view of a mentally ill old man.

You said what you'd heard about the story didn't make sense. I'm telling you that the story is not supposed to be completely coherent because it's told through the point of view of a mentally ill old man, a survivor of Dresden. The stuff about the aliens and jumping through time is a form of presenting mental illness (maybe alzheimer's).

Wait, wait, MAF, could you possibly be suggesting that am nintenho wasn't honestly curious about Slaughterhouse-Five but was instead attempting to troll? My word!

the book sounds like it goes into a lot of detail about nothing, could you explain what the book is about?

It's about the scars a person's psyche receives after living through something as gruesome and inhumane as the destruction in Dresden.

that actually sounds like it could make for a very boring book, I'll try to get it and read through as much of it to see how much I could stand.

I've been told that the book is dumb and it has no interesting story idea as far as I know.

And who was the genius who told you that? And, again, how old are you?

P.S. You don't always read books for the "story."

Dude, I am not going to defend an acknowledged masterpiece of modern literature like Slaughterhouse-Five, to you.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #83 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:20:55 PM »

I don't see how it's a masterpiece. did it change how future writers wrote or even really do anything obviously different?

I find it hard that a book could be written, edited, reviewed, and jacked off on by fans without the writing qualities or messages being obvious. I'll try to read it, forgot to get it today.

Oh amnintenho; so desperately trying to sound like an intellectual.

nah, that'd come a little too obvious with the trolling and I couldn't get this far.
