Why Must Read Breakfast of Champions: A Novel?
Though written during the cold war, the observations of Vonnegut remain as dangerous and subversive as ever nearly 40 years later. I expected the book to feel dated but, I guess, human nature, and the observations that Vonnegut makes about it, have not changed. Greed and selfishness are alive and well. This is truly one of Vonnegut's classics if only for his description of a certain body part.. If you don't know what I mean, read the book. I also find it truly ironic and just perfect that Amazon rejected my original review because it contained the word which Vonnegut describes. really? What is this? Walmart? Anyway...this is a great book. it is funny and insightful and, after all this time, still contains many uncomfortable truths.
