What is your opinion on this book?

I liked it but I found Demian to be much more impactful.

I'm only 18 and just graduated high school so that might have something to do with my opinion.

What about its approach to spirituality? I always felt that the one-upmanship game of transcendence that Siddharta played with all the other characters felt somewhat off, maybe I'm just not one for Buddhism and its reincarnation wheel.

The whole listening to the river thing was kind of perplexing to me if he didn't mean that the inherent beauty in a river was enough to be happy with (discounting bodily essentials).

I felt like it displayed the life of an ascetic really well in that they are so self secluded and not really active in the world, up a pretentious but mostly meaningless nothingness.

A great 'find your own meaning' book.

My least favourite Hesse work.

It's a flick of a book.

New age self-help bullshit

I'm sorry it's my least favourite Hesse book, I'll try harder to appeal to your tastes next time.
