I finished "Breakfast of Champions" in just under 24 hours. It's the first Kurt Vonnegut I've read, so I can't compare it with his other works.

I found it to be a fun farce. The societal criticism is over the top. The story, characters, and incidental bits are downright silly in places. While I was reading it I felt I could see how he had constructed the book to look constructed and the intentionalness of his chaos, but this didn't make the book less enjoyable or the chaos less effective.

8. Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. "Breakfast of Champions"
