I haven’t read the original, but I get the impression this is a masterful adaptation. ( ) I have wanted to pick up Slaughterhouse-Five for years, ever since I was given 1984 in high school instead of this book. I had always been interested in what I missed out in reading this book, and lucky for me NetGalley had the graphic novel version of this book! I thought this was a great way to present the story, even if I haven't read the original work. If I had options like this way back in my high school days then it would have made reading some of these classics way more entertaining! I'd highly recommend educators and students grab books like these to add a little spice and fun to your reading lists. I really enjoyed the illustrations, and I found the book really intriguing and well done. Three out of five stars. Thank you to NetGalley and BOOM! Studios for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. Nel 1989 – 20 anni dopo la pubblicazione del libro di Vonnegut – è uscita la canzone di Billy Joel “And so it goes”. Difficile non associare queste due opere anche se sembrano decisamente distanti. Mi piacerebbe sapere se l’autore della canzone è stato in qualche modo influenzato dalla frase così ossessivamente ripetuta nel libro. Sarebbe carino, anche perché due strofe ricordano i temi affrontati da Vonnegut: And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns e And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen Hanno un bel dire i tralfamadoriani. Come se fosse una cosa semplice - e persino un po’ banale - ignorare le spine delle rose. Che ci vuole! “Passiamo l’eternità guardando i momenti piacevoli”, dicono, come se in ogni vita ci fossero così tanti momenti piacevoli da poter riempire tutto il tempo e poter così tenere gli occhi ben aperti, per poterli guardare tutti. Guardo ai momenti della mia vita e cerco di vederli come un tratto delle montagne che chiudono l’orizzonte a ovest. Le vedo tute insieme ma sento che manca qualcosa. Manca ciò che sorgerà a est, ciò che sta sorgendo. È curioso ma a differenza di quanto accade ai tralfamadoriani, per noi terrestri è proprio così: guardare al futuro è essere ciechi, abbacinati dalla luce di ciò che sta sorgendo. Solo se si guarda a ovest sembra di poter distinguere le cose e verde i momenti tutti insieme. Ma c’è ancora questa cosa che ci distingue: solo chiudendo gli occhi possiamo provare a non vedere l’orribile che abbiamo vissuto o che stiamo vivendo. Come sarebbe bello poter dire: no, non è così che vanno le cose. I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was really excited to receive this graphic novel since I have always thought that Slaughterhouse-Five would have translated very well to this format. I think Ryan North and Albert Monteys did a terrific adaptation. I think readers who are familiar with Vonnegut's original will truly enjoy it. I could not help remembering the book as I was reading the graphic novel. It felt like visiting a friend after a long time, remembering old stories, talking about very serious topics without taking our old mature selves so seriously.

"The first-ever graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world's great anti-war books. An American classic and one of the world's seminal antiwar books, Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five is faithfully presented in graphic novel form for the first time from Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!). Listen: Billy Pilgrim has...read Kilgore Trout... opened a successful optometry business... built a loving family... witnessed the firebombing of Dresden... traveled to the planet Tralfamadore... met Kurt Vonnegut... come unstuck in time. Billy Pilgrim's journey is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be fallibly human."--Provided by publisher.
