Summary: This book is HIGH QUALITY
Review: Kurt Vonnegut writes spectacular stories every time and this is no exception. The illustrations are hilarious and the black humor is vintage Vonnegut. An interesting storyline: A lunatic starts believing a science fiction writer's works. Another good one to read is the Welcome to the Monkey House, a collection of short stories. Vonnegut fans will also like John Steinbeck and Ray Bradbury.

Summary: Bizarre but interesting
Review: I red this book as a school project. I really liked it. Vonnegut is a crazy guy but BReakfast of champions really makes you think about our world. I recommend it if you have an open mind.

Summary: Vonnegut's funniest book
Review: It would be hard to describe the plot of this book. I've read it more than 5 times and I cannot explain it. Something about a transvestite guy named Harry LeSabre who sells cars, but not Buicks. Kilgore Trout, Dwayne Hoover. They're all interconnected and in fact everything that Vonnegut writes about starting with Cat's Cradle emphasizes that some people are in the same "carass"(people whose lives are intertwined whether they know it or not) for their lifetimes. Maybe our lives are not as random as we thought. I laugh out loud whenever I read this book. I read it twice when I was pregnant and had a boy with a great sense of humor.

Summary: No one else has reviewed this?!
Review: This book is pure genius, in the typical manner of Kurt Vonnegut. He skewers it all here. Don't miss it.

Summary: The funniest piece of literature ever put on paper
Review: Vonnegut's specialty is belittling the human race and he does it well in this book. This book is full of Irony and absurdity. If you like to question yourself, mankind, and your place in the world; read this book.

Summary: One of the funniest books ever written.
Review: The thing about Breakfast of champions is that it brings such clarity. With other books you think about conflicting things and with this one everything is set in stone through simplistic illustrations. This book is the ultimate map of wherever you are, especially on the road since a third of the book is Kilgore trout going to Midland city. This book also deals with insanity and bad ideas. This book is for anyone who is sick of what they've been told and wants ot hear something new. It's all the garbage that plugs up the mind but it's been turned into humor that makes you feel every emotion at some point in the story.

Summary: Soggy Corn Flakes
Review: I`ve read a lot of these Amazon reviews, and I find myself nodding in agreement with most readers' comments, but this Breakfast phenomenon is something I just can't fathom. There`s nothing funny at all in this book. Well, no, I smirked once, I'll admit - when Karabekian made the "outboard motor" comment - but THAT WAS IT. The Egyptian Book of the Dead delivers more humor than you'll find here. HOW CAN THERE EXIST A LESS HUMOROUS BOOK? And yet 'readers' find it "hilarious." Man, I gotta wonder.... Kurt Vonnegut did, after all, start his career as a publicity man...Dwayne Hoover, Kilgore Trout, and the rest of the characters are like computer generated zombies. Vonnegut feeds us a philosophical line about how he doesn't want to glorify his characters because he thinks that people act out the roles they find in books, and he doesn't want to be responsible for a lot of misguided heroics. Fair enough, but what he gives us instead is just a lot of insipid meandering. If he wanted NOT to influence anyone, he could have simply done the world a favor and not written the book. The book raises a few stale philosophical issues, I'll grant it that, but as far as I can make out the story only serves to obfuscate what Vonnegut is trying to say. But of course, a straightforward essay (a page or two of lucid writing would suffice to express the ideas that merits interest in this novel) wouldn't offer much potential for the media-hype treatment that Vonnegut specializes in.

Summary: Max Sayz its Awesome! (da bomb)
Review: Max, of P "Dubbs" New York says Breakfast of Champions is "da best book eva!"
Rating:
Summary: Excellent. Two thumbs and eight fingers up.
Review: I thought the book was excellent, and that Vonnegut really expresses an ability to do what we as Americans cannot do: be honest about the things that aren't right in this world or the things that are just plain stupid.
