Journal Entry 1 by benborden from Grapevine, Texas USA on Saturday, July 06, 2002

I may be brief or I may expound. This is the first Kurt Vonnegut book I had the oportunity to read. It was given to me as a gift at the DeSoto High School Eagle Eye Newspaper Staff's Geek Gathering. It was given to me by a friend of mine who thought I would like Vonnegut. They were right, more so than I thought at the time. Slaughterhouse Five isn't his best book. None of his books are his best book, but it's definately a start into the insane world his literature resides in.

His body of work already exceeds that of most writers (except serial writers like Grisham and etc.) and this book is a perfect place to start. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
