In this review that I found, the reviewers say that Slaughterhouse Five as a whole is very uneven in quality, but they also praise him which they think his novel is widely regarded as the author's finest work. They think that his humor in the book is great, saying that it does not disguise the awful things perceived; it merely strengthens and comforts us to the point where such perception is bearable. It is definitely a book that we need to read is what Granville Hicks comments. Most of the criticism is based on the concerning the novel's apparent endorsement of passive acceptance as an appropriate response to evil. That Vonnegut refuses to say who is wrong, puts no blame, and sets no penalties. Tony Tanner says that Vonnegut's vision is one of "moral indifference." I agree with this article because his humor in the book is really good and funny.
