Slaughterhouse Five made me dizzy~

During the Christmas break I opened the book, Slaughterhouse Five, and started to read the book. The book was very confusing because when I first read the story, I thought the story was boring like other war-time history. Personally I don't like to read historical fact book, but starting from second chapter, the theme of time travel showed up and interested me to read book more deeply. I learned in the history class, and almost 130000 people were died from the Dresden bombing. The author, Kurt Vonnegut, used a main character and theme of time travel to depict life in Dresden. However, the idea of time travel kept confused me, and distracted me. This distraction made read very hard to focus. Overall, personally I didn't like this book, but I am sure that Slaughterhouse five was great magical realistic piece.
