Breakfast of Champions


Breakfast of Champions, Kurt Vonnegut

Brief: My first venture into Vonnegut, and it's... not really my cup of tea.  If you're looking for something dark - a bleak look into the hearts of men (with but a hint of humor) - this may be for you.  If you'd rather not, and spare yourself the crude language and content, I'd say you're better off.  I wanted to enjoy it; I really did!
