I think that Billy is a crazy guy. I still don't understand if he really is being abducted by aliens and time traveling or not. I feel like he might just be crazy and hallucinating, but maybe Kurt Vonnegut just has a large imagination. He starts time traveling from the beginning of the story (pg. 13) and his description of the aliens and what they believe in is very specific and vivid descriptions. In my opinion, this book was very twisted and different from anything I've ever read because its a mix of history, sci-fi, fact, real life, and a bunch of different things. I think Billy's friend is very heroic and stays by Billy's side like during the war (pg. 53). I also think that he is a good friend.
My thoughts about Kurt Vonnegut himself is that he is a good author but I don't think he wrote this in a appealing way. When I was reading this story. I wasn't as interested as I thought I would be. I would like to read another one of Kurt's books to see what is actual style of writing is and to see if it is like what he wrote for Slaughterhouse-Five.
