Today's blog is going to be about the book I'm reading. The book I am reading is called The Slaughter House Five. Its actually a really good book; I didn't know going into it if i would be to fond of it. All I new is what a story taking place during world war two, and a little later. The main character's name is Billy Pilgrim; hes married with two kids, and is a world war two vet. The book starts off really confusing, not really revealing any characters or even explaining which direction the plot of the story is going. Eventually the story picks up and the characters are slowly introduced.

Billy Pilgrim is writing a book on world war two and the base in which where he was stationed. He's trying to remember some of the main events or highlight or the base, but can't seem to grasp on to anything worth putting into a book. He calls one of his war buddies one night and asks to meet with him to discuss the war, and possibly see if any worth while stories come up.

The book really picks up when Billy, starts flashing back to days during the war, and then days after the war. Its kind of confusing at first, but once you realize what hes trying to portray, it gets a little easier. At one point of the book, Mr. Pilgrim claims that he was abducted by aliens. He describes how he was in his back yard one night and the aliens swooped over and scooped him right up in to their space ship. This book is definitely not the easiest read in the world, but I like it because it makes you think a lot, and get into the characters minds a little bit.
