This works! A dark and queasy tone-poem to an evil place and time. 8 from me.

I read the story plot, and I just don't see the connection to the story. I don't think the grain does anything to improve the image...maybe it gives the WWII newspaper feel or something. Just not an appealing image to me.

gave it a 3

So... I like this image - overall it strikes me as having a mysterious quality.

What it doesn't do for me is convey that novel, the horror, the war, the soldiers, this doesn't even strike me as a slaughterhouse.

:( And there seems to be some pretty strong banding in the grain/noise.

In any case, it's a 5 because it almost sorta fits, but just misses the mark - but yet is still a rather interesting image.

This book is about memory, and how that makes us all time travelers. Your image feels like a memory. Also implied is that this is a door to a slaughterhouse. So this memory-door leads to death. Chilling. 8

Yeah, this looks mean, ominous, downright trickery, a cannibalistic witch living deep in the forest in a house constructed of cake and confectionery in mono. Schlachthof-fünf never looked better.8.

The tones and grain give it a sense of foreboding that I like. The slight disassociated feel of the plant works well. This is one of the Vonnegut books that I haven't read, and reading the plot summary doesn't give me enough to make a tie to the story. 7

To me this relates well to the bleakness of the novel and I like it even if not. The banding adds a primatively futuristic (or defective high-tech) effect. 6

I want to like this from a creativity viewpoint, but I just don't see the connection to the Book title. Is that my fault or yours? I'll reserve voting while I ponder this some more.

I'm guessing that's a door?
Just not feeling this photo.

Powerful and delicate picture in the same time and fitting the novel so well. There is a lot to think about when looking at this
