It was definitely a collection of weird stories but all about the same people. It’s not necessarily something I would recommend to someone but I wouldn’t say it was a bad read. It’s a book I was able to have on in the background as I was working and I could tune in and out of it and be fine.

At first I didn't think I was going to like it. It was confusing and I couldn't see where the plot was going if there was one.
But I was SO wrong.
This is book is smart, intriguing, surprising, confusing and bizzare in the best way possible.
It's one of those books that once you finish you want to go online and read more about to understand it more deeply.
Would definitely recommend!

I felt like I was in a dream reading this. The writing was equal parts escapist and surreal. Brautigan's style is minimal and honest, repetitive and inviting.

Other books that In Watermelon Sugar reminded me of:
1. Le Petit Prince (fantastical/surreal elements like the talking tigers)
2. Cat's Cradle (writing style)
3. The Time Machine (iDeath)

The only takeaway I can dig up is a reflection on materialism & its influence on society. The novel went completely over my head even when I made every attempt to digest it. That being said, I respect Brautigan for writing somewhat of a postmodernist classic and if you already enjoy the genre it's probably worth a read. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it to anybody else.
