Slaughter house five

This book is really weird I mean that there is somethings that you will understand to a certain part and then you will get confused and have to figure out what the guy is trying to say.

Well anyway...

at the beginning like in chapter one is just explaining about the book basically so I'm not really going to talk much about that. The second chapter, you get to meet the main character that goes in time a lot. It explains on how easy he can go in time like he would be asleep a senile widower and when he wakes up on his wedding day, he would walk through a door in 1955 and come out in another one in 1941 and stuff like that. which just because of that makes the book weird already there isn't really a normal moment about this book.
Billy was in world war two and he is an optometrist when the war is over and in this book you can go from the war and end up time traveling to him working, or married, or death. Anyway, billy was engaged to the daughter of the owner of Ilium school. He collapse's and ends up being treated in the verteins hosptial. Billy really wanted to be in optometery and since a important person that owns it and he knows him apparently made him want to go even more. Billy is rich and has two kids Barbra and Robert. Robert was having trouble in high school until he joined the green berets and he became a good person.
Him and a bunch of other optometrists were on a plane and it crashed, he ended up in the Vermont hospital and his wife died by carbon monoxide poisoning "so it goes" that is one of the times he goes back in time and the whole so it goes thing the author says it a lot in this book, I mean he says it so many times in this book it gets kind of annoying and you would not care if he said that after a while but the thing is, is that he uses it less at the end of the book.
After the plane crash he ends up going home with a crossed scar on his head and the starts talking about going to a alien planet called Tralfamadore and, it ends up being on the paper and he talks about him being in a zoo for the aliens to enjoy and things like that and it freaks out his daughter because he never started to talk about it before he got into a plane crash. but apparently it was true becase he was able to go back in time to those memories or something like that. But know one so far belives that he can, he really didn't say anything about time travel to anyone.
