The book is reallycomplex. The main character could go and back in the time. In the book, authorcreate a lot of different setting, I was confused sometime when I reading thebook. There abundant number of slangs were appeared in some charpter, my vocabularyis limited, the book is also hard to read for me.

The protagonist can able to see his bie andgo through the time. He does not even care the exist of time. In my point ofview he is crazy guy, even a mental. The super power was not a good thing, itprobaly alter his perspective of something,. His “super power” be called “timetravel”. In the time travel, the bombing of Dresden on 1945 and he was abductedby alines, these tow thing is most significant arrangement of the novel. He hadtried to send his letter to new aegcy and publish evaryting that happened onhimself.

The frist time when he discover his superpower, he was a normal people. On the beginning he considered a lot of questionhe want to find the answer to save those question. So he go through the pastand future for find those answer.

Actually the norval reflect the autor’s moodso much. Now I want to introduce the author : Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007), he is GermanAmerican, his ancestors from Germany. During the WW1, in American societypeople hate Germany so much, and the Germans and their descendants subject todiscrimination, which gave Vonnegut young mind to leave a dark shadow.
