I find it difficult to classify Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five. At times it feels like old school science fiction, and at other times an historical account. The structure of Slaughterhouse Five is so unique I have a hard time considering it a book rather than a collection of scenes pasted together. While this book may be confusing to many, there is one fact I do know; Billy Pilgrim has become unstuck in time.

Book Review: Lightning by Dean R. Koontz
Posted: March 21, 2010 at 9:01 pm by Nathan Driskell
I must confess, before I read this book I had never heard of Dean R. Koontz. I hate to admit this, but I am not well read. I often pick a handful of authors and focus on them, often ignoring others. I have decided it is time to read books from as many authors as possible. I decided I wanted to read a book that includes time travel. As a science fiction nerd, I find time travel fascinating. Lightning includes time travel done in an interesting and unpredictable way. To that end, I found Lightning to be an interesting read.
