5.0 out of 5 stars Siddhartha, 9 April 2009
By Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Siddhartha (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) (Paperback)
`Siddhartha' is one of those books that is both simple to read and yet powerful and profound at the same time. Following a young Brahmin's son as he tries to find his spiritual path in life, this book manages to weave a tale that is both captivating and enlightening. This book is so good I could read the first 30 pages alone and put the book down a happy man, the remainder is purely icing on the cake! Hesse manages to write in a deceptively simple style that belies the depth to the message he shows us and the skill behind his writing. He won the nobel prize for good reason. This may be a short book, but it is one that will stay with you long after you have read it and will bring you back to rediscover it's delights at regular intervals. Beautiful prose, beautiful message and highly recommended indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautyful, 19 Jul 2005
By A Customer
this is a wonderful book. I first read it in school, but come back to it every now and again. It is so brilliantly, poetically written, full of wisdom and nice words. A book that makes you think about your own life, and that is still very polite, not theatening or whatever.
It is a (or the) story of siddharta, who later becomes Buddha, a young, rich prince, who wants to find the meaning of his life, is wandering around, and never finds what it really is he wants. It is a journey of questioning the world, of being restless to finally find peace in mind and body.
However, this book is very "slow" and has lots of flowery words and descriptions. If you dont like this in general, you might not at all enjoy this book.
