    I see why this novel is a modern classic. It was original and well written. The perspective of the fire bombing was captivating and very moving. The novel really brings home the anti war message by showing its the price in human suffering. Really enjoyed it.

    I had heard a lot about this particular title, so I thought I would try it out; I was not dissapointed. I am not usually a fan of this genre, but this book kept my attention. I liked how it was narrated and the story line is very captivating. I constantly recommend it to friends.

About the Author

Kurt Vonnegut was a master of contemporary American literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America''s attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as "a true artist" with Cat''s Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, "one of the best living American writers." Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007.
