Summary: What is the purpose of life?
Review: The answer is written on a bathroom wall within the pages of this book and examined between every line of it's text. The reader may not buy into Vonnegut's investigation of this question, but it's sublimely memoriable and as absurd as the lottery of life itself. The author's drawings serve to enhance the experience and set the tone of this unique and moral book.

Summary: Vonnegut is Creator of my Universe
Review: Is it possible to say anything new about a book that has been in print for ~30 years, that has been read by millions, and which is widely studied in schools and universities?No... but I do want to say that I loved every word (and illustration). You can pick up this old novel and get a very fresh outlook both on the human condition and on how novels ought to be written. Vonnegut writes like he is explaining life on Earth to alien children. It is a tool that produces incredibly poignant satire, which he uses effectively to give commentary on conditions of life that the vast majority of us accept without even noticing. The language used is very simple but wonderfully lyrical, less-than-average readers will fly right through it. Although clearly sadenned by his life, and by his observations of the planet, Vonnegut wrote a masterpiece that remains hopeful in its despair. Kurt Vonnegut is a genius, and will no doubt be recognized as one of the 20th Century's greatest.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: Breakfast of Champions is far and away the best book I have ever read! I would recommend it to anyone, especially those who have never read Vonnegut.

Summary: Breakfast of Runner Ups....
Review: This novel is one of Vonnegut's more acclaimed works, although I would say, in my un-experted opinion, that The Sirens of Titan, Mother Night, and Hocus Pocus are better in many ways than Breakfast of Champions. Sure, Breakfast has many comical sections, however, it fails to answer any real question about human nature, other than the fact that we are innately dumb. The plot twists and turns, leading the reader through Vonnegut's "reality" of modern day society using Kilgore Trout and a used car salesmen as tour guides. Vonnegut plays on all aspects of society, from race, to industrialization, to the fragility of the human mind, and finally to the ability and far reaching possibilities of the imagination. Breakfast is witty and comical, but I recommend some of his other novels if you are looking for the better side of Vonnegut.

Summary: To Luis Solis: Read the Book Before You Review It
Review: How dare you give this masterpiece only 2 stars AND also claim that you've never read the novel? The ignorance in this world astonishes me.

Summary: Controlled Lunacy!
Review: Three stars is a good rating for me. Rarely do I give 4 or more. That said, I thought the first 2/3 of this book was absolutely hysterical. Yes, it was juvenile. Yes, it was even infantile at times, but it was fun. If you're looking for a light hearted read, and you like satire, then this is the book for you. Vonnegut has the ability to make us laugh at what we are, when most would waddle in the misery and wretchedness of human behavior. A WARNING: this is not a book for the politically correct.

Summary: Amazing.
Review: Kurt Vonnegut plays god in this novel and has a lot of fun doing it. He's a crazy old man and I love him.

Summary: SEE THE MOVIE
Review: I didn't read the book, but I saw the movie (which by the way filmed near my hometown). It stars Bruce Willis as the wacky Dwane Hoover. the movie to me was OK

Summary: Great book!
Review: I am a grade 11 student and I had to read this book for an assignment. It is the best book I have ever read and it kept my attention for the whole time. It was so good that I was tempted to read it for one whole day.

Summary: Beautiful book
Review: This book is in NO way sexist or racist. If you see it as racist because of the way the author describes a black man, you are truly an ignorant person. Vonnegut is just telling it like it is. When he says that rich white males rule the world, he isn't saying it's RIGHT, but simply that's how it is. This book was hilarious and haunting at the same time. Anyone who thinks it should not be analyzed, that it has no message, or that it is a bigotrous and self-centered book... wow... I actually would have to pity that person for not being able to fully enjoy this masterpiece.
