Jim's Review
🐛
So it goes. Three words that will haunt you long after you close this book. Vonnegut took one of the most devastating events of WWII and filtered it through time travel, alien abduction, and dark humor that only he could pull off. It's funny, it's tragic, it's completely unhinged in the best way. It rewards re-reading; every pass burrows deeper into its genius. Four worms — unstuck in time, stuck in Jim's heart.
