Notes and Comment
Billy Pilgrim come unstuck in time. Billy was born in 1922 in Ilium, New York, the only child of a barber there. His father died in a hunting accident during the war. Billy became rich after setting up business in Ilium by his father in-law. he had two children Barbra and Robert. Billy's wife died accidentally of carbon-monoxide poisoning. He went on a all night radio program and said he had been kidnapped by a flying saucer in 1967. Billy wrote a letter that makes his daughter upset. She said "Its ll just crazy. None of its true!" And so on. Billy was a chaplin's assistant in the war. Billy time-travels to 1965. He is now forty-one years old and visiting his mother in a nursing home. He blinks and opens his eyes at a party in 1961, cheating on his wife.

Quotations
List quotes and page numbers here with information as to why they are interesting. "This was a fairly pretty girl, except that she had legs like an Edwardian grand piano." pg. 29 I liked how the girl was compared to a piano. What is he trying to say about her legs? Does he like them or is he explaining how bad they look? "Now, lying in the ditch with Billy and the scouts after having been shot at, Weary made Billy take a very close look at his trench knife." pg. 37 While lying in the ditch he made Billy take a close look at his trench knife. Why? What was he plaining on doing? I wounder what was on his knife. "Which a bull bat could fly through without touching either wing." pg. 36 During their discussion of the iron maiden and his fathers pistol, this quotation came up. It really makes no sense to me but I would like to figure it out.
