RatingHighly Recommended
Book ReviewIf you are game for dark comedy and a splash of sci-fi, this is the book for you. The main character is an active infantryman for about 5 minutes at the end of World War II before being captured but the Germans. Things quickly go south from there. I really enjoyed Kurt Vonnegut’s “semi-autobiographical science fiction-infused anti-war novel.” In less than 300 pages, you’ll laugh out loud, be appalled, and probably be very confused. Great summer read.
