Unfulfilled comedian
Graham Patterson really wanted to become a famous comedian. Unfortunately, his last show doesn’t fare well. The protagonist decides to drop everything, buys a car and a camera, and sets off on a journey through America. He manages to reach North Carolina when his car breaks down.

Even though Patterson is not a huge fan of tattoos, she concludes that she has nothing to lose and decides to get her first tattoo in her life. It represents animals, and soon its remarkable properties are revealed. It gives the protagonist the opportunity to travel to other versions of his life, showing him what would happen if he made other decisions. At first he is misunderstood, but soon curiosity takes over. Graham will have to decide what reality he would like to remain in forever. He faces a huge dilemma, and all versions of his life begin to mix with each other. What decisions will he make? What kind of life will she choose? Why is all this happening?
Interesting atmosphere
Johathan Caroll in his book shows that every decision, spoken words and actions can have an impact not only on our lives, but also on all others who surround us. This may seem obvious and does not introduce anything new, but sometimes we forget the things we take for granted. The novel can evoke reflections on life, the people we met along the way, and the choices we made. There are also questions about what we would do if we were the protagonist. Would we choose a life in which we are famous and adored, a life in peace, or maybe we wouldn’t change anything? By introducing other characters, the author also shows that not only everyone we interact with has an impact on our lives. It is also us who leave a part of ourselves in them.
Summary
Mr Breakfast, using the figure of an unfulfilled comedian, shows the reader how life can change as a result of many factors. I think that everyone who reads this book will perceive it in a completely different way, comparing it to their own experiences. It is a novel worth getting to know and thinking about your choices so far. It is possible that some of us would also like to have access to this special tattoo.
