Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut
4.0
This is one of the better known Vonnegut novels, and for good reason. Incredibly self-aware, even as Vonnegut goes, this novel contains a character that seems autobiographical. Several moments feature Trout speaking in Vonnegut's voice directly to the to reader.
For all my enjoyment, the narrative structure was a little more difficult for me to follow with this particular book. It follows a traditionally bleak Vonnegutian outlook on the world, but something was a little too dark for my taste. As always a lot of his critique was tragically spot on, though this doesn't make the book any less depressing.
Perfect read for the person who's been looking for confirmation that he or she is the only real sentient being on the planet, and that everyone else is nothing more than a robot hard wired with predetermined functionality.
