Summary: No superlative...
Review: ...can be great enough to quantify this lovely book. If you are familiar with Richard Brautigan and you haven't read "Willard...", it's a spiritual kin to "In Watermelon Sugar". If you are unfamiliar with his writing, imagine a more poetic, hippier Vonnegut. Remember the first time you read "Breakfast of Champions"? Remember how you laughed out loud at the saddest things you've ever imagined and cried at the most joyful? This book will do it to you all over again. I read this book for the first time when I was 12. I still feel 12 when I read it. What better endorsement is there than that?

Summary: A strange little book. Definately Richard Brautigan.
Review: Richard Brautigan's "Willard and His Bowling Trophies" is an interesting book about some very strange people. I didn't think it was as good as a few of his other works, but I did feel that given the time period in Brautigan's life and the amount of fiction already written by him, this book was definately worthy of publication. Brautigan's talent for creating strange, yet realistic characters really stands out in this story, and the decriptions of his character's lives and troubles, creates a memorable novel. I don't think Brautigan ever lost his touch, no matter where his soul took him, and this book is a good example of his unique sence of irony
