Slaughterhouse 5

"Marvellous...the writing is pungent, the antics uproarious, the wit as sharp as a hypodermic needle"
Daily Telegraph

"A laughing prophet of doom"
New York Times

"Mr Vonnegut knows a great deal about what is probably the largest massacre in modern history - the fire-bombing of Dresden in 1945. Slaughterhouse Five is a reaction to the event by one of our most gifted and incisive novelists. A work of keen literary artistry"
Joseph Heller, author of Catch-22

"An extraordinary success. A book to read and reread. He is a true artist"
New York Times Book Review

"Agonising, funny. His eloquent concern transforms something as pedestrian as a war movie seen back to front into a vision which, in its weird way, is as effecting as any short passage ever written against war"
Time magazine
