A review by nstew16
In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan

lighthearted reflective fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

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)
