Rating:  Summary: The Making of a mind... Review: You will enter into a complete state of willingness to be at one with your world after reading this story. It has given my life a spiritual lift and has really changed my tone of thought. I hope you'll pick this book up and envelope yourself in it as I did, and love it whole heartedly.
Rating:  Summary: This book is great! Review: You could really learn a lot from this book. The journey is so symbolic and the transcendental references are outstanding!
Rating:  Summary: The detailed life of a young boy on a mission. Review: Siddhartha was an eager learner. His adventours leave you not wanting to put down the book. Herman Hesse describes Siddhartha's life as detailed as possible...leaving you plenty of room for you to imagine this young boys dramatic life.
Rating:  Summary: A life-changing book!!! Review: This is the type of book you will want to read if you feel yourself at a fork in your life and need some type of guidance. After I finished reading this book, I sat in an elated state of mind that, time and space permitted, I would have lasted a lifetime! If you are the type of reader who delves into a book, only to find yourself in a different time and space when you emerge, this is a book to guide your revival!!
Rating:  Summary: Modern Masterpiece Review: Through Siddhartha, we see the curiosity and indecisiveness of youth. We live his attempts to find what is missing in his life. His search for truth-in nature, in society- becomes a goal for the reader also. Anyone who has ever questioned life and received unsatisfactory answers should read this book.
Rating:  Summary: A lasting experience... Review: After reading Siddhartha, I notice a tear run down my face. This was not a tear of sadness, but of happiness. I finally experienced the true beauty of life and my place in it. I didn't read a story about an individual named Siddhartha, but a story about me and my search for the meaning of life. I truly believe that if anyone read this book with an open mind, they would be able to see themselves as Siddhartha. Without a doubt, this is the most inspirational book I have ever experienced and highly recommend it to EVERYONE....
Rating:  Summary: The hero, a man, and time Review: In order to begin anything one must speak. And doing so, truly and whole heartedly doing so, all becomes pointless and dull to the extreme of boredom. What a gamble? This is the challege presented by a man emerging from time's flow. However, the hero says much despite the acknowledgement of word-folly. The Enlightened One must halt and let another become his own path for everyone is perpetually present. Thus a directive: this is the end, you are nothing, begin!
Rating:  Summary: One of the GREATEST BOOKS of ALL TIME Review: Hey ... one of the earlier reviewer missed the boat on Siddhartha ... he is not merely a :contemporary: of Buddha .... HE IS BUDDHA !!!The deep multi= multi= leveled layers of this book are awsome ..... read it 20 times and you'll discover a new angle each time .... after a 100, you'll still be amazed. This little beauty is right up there with Genesis, Revelations, Catcher in the Rye ..... my oh my ...... I'm about to buy a fresh copy ... my old one is worn too thin!!! Seventh Generation Collaboration forever ... Siddhartha is alive and walking! Awake the worm, awake .... don;t forget Frank Herbert's Dune if you like Hesse .... also try Hesse's heavy book: "The Glass Bead Game"
Rating:  Summary: Too bad 0 stars wasn't an option Review: I have never read a more boring book in all my life. I was forced to read this terrible book in my Honors English class and I didn't realize cruel and unusual punishment was back in style. Siddhartha is a very self-absorbed and arrogant character. The whole plot was about his very very very slow path to enlightenment. Who CARES!?!?! I think there are better books out there for young readers than the story of a modern Buddah. All Siddhartha is concerned with is himself and his personal quest, he doesn't even try to make his son happy. In the selfish world of today, books like Siddhartha only make things worse.
Rating:  Summary: unity at every moment of life Review: "wisdom is not communicable"....but beauty definitely IS in Siddhartha. conquer time with this great bedside read.
