5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously Fun Pinkwater Classic

The story of Harold, his uncle, and the pickle burger. Charming, profound, and lots of fun. I read the story as a subtle warning against gurus who take themselves seriously. But seriously, this book is a lot of fun.

11-year-old Harold has an uncle who sells shoes, Harold makes his first million betting on the ponies, Harold gets to be the guest of the multi millionaire inventor of the zenburger in a castle decorated like a fast food joint, Harold becomes a spiritual guru. He has a gold rolls royce and wears just about the funniest hat you can imagine. While not my favorite Pinkwater in existance (that prize going to the utterly transcendant Young Adult Novel) The Last Guru is good clean and typically Pinkwaterian fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Pinkwater's Best

Daniel Pinkwater has written so many classic stories, it's tough to choose a favorite. But don't miss this lesser-known gem, which buddhists and non-buddhists will appreciate equally. A profoundly silly book!
