How can anyone dislike this original work? Although it may seem primitive and dull now it was a breakthrough in its time and definitely worth reading now if your a true literature lover. What almost killed it for me was that it is forced on high school students when in reality, The Catcher in the Rye, has merit to stand on its own.

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut is brilliant with his dark comedy in Slaughterhouse-Five. It's his best work that I've read to date. Worth the time.(4 of 9 readers found this comment helpful)
