Breakfast Of Champions
5 journalers for this copy...
In Breakfast of Champions, one of Kurt Vonnegut s most beloved characters, the aging writer Kilgore Trout, finds to his horror that a Midwest car dealer is taking his fiction as truth. What follows is murderously funny satire, as Vonnegut looks at war, sex, racism, success, politics, and pollution in America and reminds us how to see the truth.

Caught and putting on Mt TBR.
Sad to say that this was not my kind of book.
Setting it free hoping the next reader will like it more than I did.

Arrived along with a number of travelling companions. Thanks very much for the RABCK book-a-neer. Not sure whether it will be my type of book or not,
but hey . . . it’s on the 1001 so I’ll give it a go.
Sometimes I get surprises!!
Well, not really my type of book either, but it was easy to read and some parts of it I enjoyed quite a lot. Others not so much, or not at all. The story itself is totally and crazily off the wall and rather delightfully meandering, but the social commentary on the sins and shortcomings of the US is insightful and cutting. And not so much out of date either. The glaring exception of course is the frequent use of the N word, which I found disturbing.
Now reserved for a new reader.
Saw this was on your wishlist, and it finishes off the parcel nicely. 🙂
Safely arrived as a wishlist bundle. Thank you, crimson-tide!
All these reviews are making me curious...

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Unfortunately I gave up at around chapter 8.
I enjoy Vonnegut, but I think I need to be in a very particular mood for this particular contribution, which readying myself for my first BC convention/ 2.5 week holiday in the UK was not it! Perhaps will make another attempt in the future...
In the meantime, will hopefully be handing this off to fellow attendee jax987654321 as it's on her wishlist. If, for some reason, she no longer needs, it will be released to the book buffet 🥰
