A review by nochnitsa
In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan

challenging dark mysterious reflective tense fast-paced

3.75

I'm glad I finally read it, it was recommended to me by my classmates when I was 15. Took me some time (I'm 24 now) but I see what all the hype was about.

I am still not sure what I can take away from this book but it was definitely one of a kind.  It gave me George Orwell vibes for some reason. 

I marked multiple passages because I found them so beautiful and poetic. What I loved most about it is the world building, which kinda makes sense even though it doesn't make any sense. Sometimes I could see the images so clearly in my head, I wanted to draw them. Maybe I will in the future. 

I hope I'll find time to reread this book again.
