I absolutely loved this book. Mr. Vonnegut's writing style is captivating, and he makes his point in an inventive manner. However, I would only recommend this book for teens 14 and up, as it does contain substantial profanity and sexualy material. Also, you may want to use this book as a gateway to discussing World War II with your teenagers. Ask them their opinions on what started the war; what the motivations were for each side. Ask them what they think of the bombing of Dresden. You never know, you may learn something from them.

Kurt Vonnegut masterfully weaves psychology and a great story with Slaughterhouse Five. Granted, I would only let mature teens read it, but it has a good message and is a fascinating novel.

Slaughterhouse-Five was written by Kurt Vonnegut, who is considered to be one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. It is very thought provoking, and very well written. Some readers seem to think that the phrase "so it goes" gets annoying after a while, but I thought it was really cool how Vonnegut said it every time that death was mentioned in the book. This is a must read.
