   Slaughterhouse-Five was published in positive reviews. At the time, reviewers like The New York Times acknowledged its brilliance and the fact that not all readers are going to “love” it. This was the first time that one of Vonnegut’s novels made it onto the New York Times bestseller list, and it rocketed him into the literary spotlight.

   Parents need to know that Kurt Vonnegut's classic science fiction novel Slaughterhouse-Five makes an anti-war statement that is powerful in any generation. For example, Vonnegut's irreverent description of the conditions endured by soldiers, prisoners of war, and the victims of the Dresden bombing said as much about the Vietnam War taking place when the book was published (1969) as it did ...

   Oct 6, 2011 · This is a low point for Hunter’s writing; elsewhere in the novel, it’s stronger. Still, the characters remain flat and unknowable, while the novel itself is predictable. At this point, more than half a century’s worth of fiction and film has been inspired by the Holocaust—a weighty and imposing tradition.

   Nov 11, 2020 · A little over a half century ago, Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five— a darkly comic, throughly batshit, semi-autobiographical anti-war novel about a fatalistic young American soldier who survives the firebombing of Dresden and becomes “unstuck in time”—exploded onto the literary scene. A bestseller upon its release, the book has ...

   Is Slaughterhouse Five a good book?

   • At first, the absurdity of Slaughterhouse-Five (now read 5 times) makes it difficult to take seriously. However, part of Vonnegut's magic is that this absurdity becomes impossible to ignore (and increasingly powerful as the narrative moves forward). Vonnegut actually wants you to focus on the absurd.

   Is Slaughterhouse Five anti-war?

   • There are some terrible reviews of SH5 floating around Goodreads, but one particularly odious sentiment is that Slaughterhouse-Five isn't anti-war. This is usually based on the following quote.

   Is Slaughterhouse Five a failure?

   • “Kurt Vonnegut introduces his seventh novel, Slaughterhouse-Five, apologetically, calling it a failure. Coming from most writers, an apology like that would be inadequate; a writer can always take a vow of permanent abstinence from writing, and there is a shortage of cabdrivers. Mr.
