Title: so it goes, and so on, and so on...
Review: Kurt Vonnegut is a snake oil salesman. His writing is so pretentious, self-referential, and nihilistic that you can't help but despise Vonnegut personally and despise even more the intellectuals and professors who praise him religiously.Breakfast of Champions is no different than the rest of his work. He randomly inserts inane facts to be funny, like the size of male characters' organs once he introduces them. These can come at any moment, so you have to be prepared for them. The book is extremely vulgar in that the obscenities have no redeeming value. There is no genuine emotion behind them.The plot? There is none that makes any sense. Furthermore, Vonnegut partakes in America bashing for the first 10 pages and comes across as a Communist, which made me nearly put the book down, but I muscled through the rest of it on a long airplane ride.Completely unenjoyable. No redeeming value. One of the worst books I've ever read.
