Not easy, but worth the effort
You have to accept this Vonnegut-style, or you will be disappointed just by his strange ideas about time-warp, extraterrestrials and his special wit. If you fight through, you will find more than this - it's a short book about a man/child, driven into WWII although neither grown-up nor a real soldier, just to be imprisoned by the germans to work for them. Through several timeshifts he tells us ...

Vintage Science Fiction
This is Kurt Vonnegut's Masterpiece. It achieves everything that good science fiction aspires to achieve. The world of Billy Pilgrim is not to be missed. This definitely has to be one of the greatest science fiction books ever written if not it is in the top 10. John

SLAUGHTERHOUSE: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside Inside the U.S. Meat Industry
This is indeed SHOCKING. I consider it a must read for everyone concerned with food safety(esp children-CDC has reported a large increase in e-coli and other food born illnesses)and above all(for me)the inhumane treatment of animals. The USDA inspectors are a "farce" and support the industry's toxic and inhumane practices. Too many animals are killed alive and contamination is rampant(up to ...

Very good book!
I haven't read this yet, but I'm getting it for Christmas, and it should be just as good as the other slaughterhouse books! Read it if you want to learn about how badly animals are treated inside slaughterhouses!

SparkNotes, 2002

The Single Strangest Book that I have Ever Read!
I didn't know that books could be this intreging, disturbing, enlightening, satirical, and strange all at the same time. This story definitly has a message that is akwardly strange in a sense that it is a common and blurred message. The thought of coming unstuck in time is truly brilliant and has the diversity of environments and scenes will keep most readers (and disturbed people like me) ...

Slaughterhouse: The Handbook of the Eastern Front

12 reviews

The Aberjona Press, 2004

A "Must-Have" for the Eastern Front
Without echoing what others have written, this book is one that will appeal to both the neophytes and the veterans of researching the Eastern Front. It is useful on several levels, and contains a wealth of information that in some cases is newly available in the English language! While there is a considerable amount of information in the book, it really is presented in such a logical fashion ...
