Kirsten's October Staff Pick

Slaughterhouse-Five
By Kurt Vonnegut
PS 3572 O5 S51


This is a banned book. Slaughterhouse-Five is about a man, named Billy Pilgrim who is stuck in a time vortex. He never knows if he is going to be in his future, his past, or the present. At one point he is abducted by aliens! Brilliantly written, Vonnegut captures our imagination and somewhat confuses us with his bouncing plot lines which all come together at the end. My favorite part is at the very end, when the author says "poo-tee-weet".
