Slaughterhouse 5

I enjoyed Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut, a classic that I hadn't read before.  Billy Pilgrim is an American POW who survives the Dresden bombing and when the War ends makes his way home where he marries well, inherits a business and has a family.  The story travels through time and back as Billy tries to make sense of his wartime experiences.  It is an easy and clever story to read with every death signposted "so it goes". 4/5
