　　Breakfast Of Champions is vintage Vonnegut. One of his favorite characters, aging writer Kilgore Trout, finds to his horror that a Midwest car dealer is taking his fiction as truth. The result 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.

Amazon.com Review
　　"We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane." Soreads the tombstone of downtrodden writer Kilgore Trout, but wehave no doubt who's really talking: his alter ego Kurt Vonnegut.Health versus sickness, humanity versus inhumanity--both sets ofideas bounce through this challenging and funny book. As with therest of Vonnegut's pure fantasy, it lacks the shimmering,fact-fueled rage that illuminates Slaughterhouse-Five. At the sametime, that makes this book perhaps more enjoyable to read.

Amazon.com Review 
　　"We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane." So
reads the tombstone of downtrodden writer Kilgore Trout, but we
have no doubt who's really talking: his alter ego Kurt Vonnegut.
Health versus sickness, humanity versus inhumanity--both sets of
ideas bounce through this challenging and funny book. As with the
rest of Vonnegut's pure fantasy, it lacks the shimmering,
fact-fueled rage that illuminates Slaughterhouse-Five. At the same
time, that makes this book perhaps more enjoyable to read. 
　　Breakfast of Champions is a slippery, lucid, bleakly humorous
jaunt through (sick? inhumane?) America circa 1973, with Vonnegut
acting as our Virgil-like companion. The book follows its main
character, auto-dealing solid-citizen Dwayne Hoover, down into
madness, a condition brought on by the work of the aforementioned
Kilgore Trout. As Dwayne cracks, then crumbles, Breakfast of
Champions coolly shows the effects his dementia has on the web of
characters surrounding him. It's not much of a plot, but it's
enough for Vonnegut to air unique opinions on America, sex, war,
love, and all of his other pet topics--you know, the only ones that
really count. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable
edition of this title. 
　　"It's marvelous...he wheels out all the complaints about America
and makes them seem fresh, funny, outrageous, hateful and
lovable." 
　　--The New York Times 
　　"Vonnegut is George Orwell, Dr. Caligari and Flash Gordon
compounded into one writer....A zany but moral mad
scientist." 
　　--Time 
　　"Free-wheeling, wild and great....Uniquely Vonnegut."

edition.
