Did they cut the time travel elements in the adaptation? In any case, read the book. Vonnegut's style is quite lovely.

His other (great) book Breakfast of Champions has been made into a film too, but everyone hated it, I think. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120618/ :2.8:

Yeah, a very touching movie. I remember watching it first as a kiddo and thought it was a cheesy horror B-movie judging from the title but became pleasantly surprised when I saw nazis and stuff. Ah, memories.

I watched it the other week. The book goes a lot more in depth and is funnier, but for an adaptionantation its not too bad.

Is slaughterhouse Five a book that most people will enjoy or do you have to be into the really zany stuff to like it? I always thought it was a series of books because I never looked into it.
