Vonnegut successfully blends reality with the absurd to craft a tragic, yet somewhat humorous anti-war tale in Slaughterhouse-Five. The science fiction elements blend in beautifully to the semi-autobiographical account, and work to illustrate Vonnegut's ideas on ethics on the nature of time. Though Slaughterhouse-Five is a fast read, you will constantly be pausing to meditate on the book's insights, as pertinent today as they were when the book was written.
