Book Reviews of In Watermelon Sugar
Book Review: Beautiful and Poetic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful book. I really enjoyed every word of it.
But it's a little hard to call it a book. It's a Brautigan.
It's beautiful poetic verse filled with magical dream-like images and events. Suns that change colors for each day of the week.
Lanterns shaped like trout. Statues of vegetables!.
People buried in tombs that are filled with light and float under the water with curious trout. bridges lit up with
lanterns shaped like shadows and trout. I'm not even sure if I read
these things correctly but I loved it just the same because this book
triggers your imagination and really was a wonderful read.
And the part about black sun days being silent was haunting at the end of the book when Margaret died. Her funeral was silent. very very sad and hit me hard. you could feel the silence. his phrases are so powerful. And again when Margaret's room full of forgotten things was closed up forever and no noise was made.
I just liked this book very much. Trout Fishing in America was a 10 and in Watermelon Sugar is a 10 also. I can't wait to read more Brautigan's.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to read something different and fun and entertaining.
Summary of In Watermelon Sugar
Death is a place where the sun shines a different colour every day and where people travel to the length of their dreams. Rejecting the violence and hate of the old gang at the Forgotten Works, they lead gentle lives in watermelon sugar. Brautigan expresses the mood of a new generation.Literature & Fiction Books
