I'm also kind of confused on the Godot comparison, FWIW.
I don't think anyone's going to be able to explain to you why you like, dislike or are ambivalent towards Slaughterhouse 5 (or anything else for that matter). I do like the book (I'm a big fan of Vonnegut, met him twice before he expired), and would suggest that you give it a year or so, then read it again. Do this 3 times. I'm guessing that each time your opinion of the book will have changed.
