"The dystopian story told from the point of view of a woman – we need more of these. It’s the perfect example of overpowering authoritarian regimes that challenge elected democracies, something that seems to be happening too often these days "

Slaughterhouse-Five

4.10 avg rating — 1,477,038 ratings
"Right, I know this took place in WWII and that, if anything, it is a critique on the ally’s bombing of a some-what neutral city. However, it’s always good to remember the atrocities of war. After-all, if it wasn’t for the dystopian regime that ruled over Germany in the 30s and 40s, Dresden would have never been bombed "

"This book is more relevant now than before, since we have mutated to be more interested in meaningless stories than in real news. The truth, as we once knew it, is no longer what it used to be "
