"I CAN ALWAYS TELL WHEN YOU TIME TRAVEL"

The book ends. This last reading blog of Slaughter house five, shall be dedicated to a topic that I liked through out the novel. Montana Wildhack and Billy's relationship. I favor romantic comedies, or just books that involve romance. Therefore I longed for the parts in which Billy time traveled to Tralfamadore, to meet Montana. It was amusing to me that they were happy on Tralfamadore, doing what every family does on earth. They were being studied, for human behavior. Yet I expected them to be different.

 Montana seemed like an interesting woman. She had lived to the fullest. And since they were in Tralfamadore she carried no shame of her actions on earth. Which I found interesting as well. The last chapters resume the book grandiosely, they go back to Billy's attempt to teach the world the Tralfamadorian believes. He dies as we all know doing a speech about that. So it goes. 

The book had a transition that taught the reader what to notice and reflect upon. From the first blogs when I noticed the use of common language. To the last in which I speak of things that the book moved in me. The book was like a capsule that made you time travel along with the character. 

Our class was motivated by the desire of knowing Vonnegut's intensions in putting himself as a character. We never fully discovered why he did that.

We gave opinions, I for example payed attention to details others didn't remember reading at all. Over all, the activity of reading such a book, commenting on it and sharing thoughts with a class, was splendid. I feel I enjoyed a book of war for the first time. Perhaps because the story was not based on the war entirely. Nevertheless I imagined the war scenes in my head perfectly, none were dull. 

Vonnegut awakens the writer within the reader. He makes me want to write and be crazy with stories and links between the stories. 

The book is about a man who's life exists in more than just one dimension. He can time-travel. He comes and goes through moments in his life. Meets some aliens that change his view of life and death. Tries to share this teachings with the world and in doing that dies. So it goes. 

I would definitely recommend the book.
