If I were trying to find a better way to advertise the book Slaughter-House Five I would design a poster. Something colorful and eye catching. The title, Slaughter-House Five is very misleading as to what the book is actually about, so I would make sure the poster gave potential readers a better idea of what kind of novel Slaughter-House is. I would include giraffes, spaceship and eyes. The book is for someone who enjoy unconventional plots, and scifi novels so a wild, intrepid poster should display this.

Another great way to attract more readers would be to produce a movie. Though, compacting slaughter-house into a short 2 hour film, might be a challenge it would be a sure fire way to attract more potential readers. When a consumer can read and then watch the wonder of there favorite story it is a huge money maker. People want to read before they watch so they can compare the two. Not to mention the commercials for the movie would people a taste of what slaughter-house is really about and maybe sway them to read the book before watching the film.

A book like Slaughter-House Five is particularly hard to advertise because it is so subjective and unique. However, I think it would really rad to have like a theme park sort of thing where you can ride like themed rides, and do like a simulator where you can go through some of the crazy stuff Billy does on his adventures. You could actually simulate the fire bombing, and all that stuff - like a movie but like more real. I think that would be fun~ and you sell the book at the parks, and people want to read what inspired the fun :) It's a stretch but its interactive!
