Praise for Breakfast of Champions

Vonnegut performs considerable complex magic... Fresh, funny, outrageous...he very nearly levitates

New York Times

A great deal of wit and playfulness...an entire universe of disorder is distilled

Guardian

Outrageous, witty, thought-provoking, unputdownable, scintillating, invigorating, ennobling, enlightening and masterly

Spectator

Brilliant... It seems, at times, as if Voltaire has returned to satirise the horrors of plastic, disposable America

Sunday Times

He’s just so fucking amazing. Everyone should read Vonnegut.
