1. It was interesting how the auther told the story

2. It was cool how the auther said he was unstuck in time and how he time traveled through the mind I guess instead of a time machine

3. The idea of one of Trout's books was rather cool the one about Jesus

4. It had the theme of war and bombings which I find rather interesting

5. It was cool how the Tralfamadorians had a zoo made from different species from different planets

6. It was unique how humans were the only species to have "free will"

7.  I thought the "so ti goes" was a nice touch, it got repetitive after awhile though

8. It was kind of wrong and stupid how the tralfamadorians could see past present and future all at once
how can someone even have a thought when every millisecond of their life is played at once

9.  It was unique how the main character wasn't described very much and was actually rather plain

10.  It's a mystery how Montana could tell that Billy as time traveling and no one else noticed

11. it was funny how he was kicked off the radio show

12. it was funny how perverted this book was

13. it was odd how the tralfamadorians would end up just letting themselves destroy the universe

14. it was sad how the horses suffered

15. it's interesting how we never really know when the present is
