In the shade of a banyan tree, a grizzled ferryman sits listening to the river. Some say he’s a sage. He was once a wandering shramana and, briefly, like thousands of others, he followed Gotama the Buddha, enraptured by his sermons. But this man, Siddhartha, was not a follower of any but his own soul. Born the son of a Brahmin, Siddhartha was blessed in appearance, intelligence, and charisma. In order to find meaning in life, he discarded his promising future for the life of a wandering ascetic. Still, right happiness evaded him. Then a life of pleasure and titillation merely eroded away his spiritual gains until he was just like all the additional “child people,” dragged around by his desires. Like Hermann Hesse’s additional creations of struggling young men, Siddhartha has a excellent dose of European angst and stubborn individualism. His final epiphany challenges both the Buddhist and the Hindu ideals of enlightenment. Neither a practitioner nor a devotee, neither meditating nor reciting, Siddhartha comes to blend in with the world, resonating with the rhythms of scenery, bending the reader’s ear down to hear answers from the river. In this translation Sherab Chodzin Kohn captures the slow, spare lyricism of Siddhartha’s search, putting her version on par with Hilda Rosner’s standard edition. –Brian Bruya

This is the worst book I have ever read. And I read a lot. I establish it dull, incorrect on every level, disgusting and generally not worth the paper it is printed on. Sorry!

This book was so wordy it was hard to know at times. It is hard for me seeing some one reading this book for fun despite that its called a “classic”, Black Beauty is a classic, To Kill A mockingbird is a classic i wouldn’t ever place this book in that class of incredible books.I gave this book one star on account that it helped me fall asleep so quick at night. I had to write a book report on this novel and it was unbelievable hard to stay awake wrirting. If i ever stub my toe and go to say a curse the one word i can reflect of adage is “SIDDHARTHA!” Spare your-self the agony and read another “classic”

I never would’ve read this book if I hadn’t been assigned it in my 10th grade English class. And I truly wish I hadn’t. Really, it’s reasonably dreadful. For one thing, it is WAY to introspective for me. Am I the only one who thinks that Siddhartha thinks way too much? If he just stopped analyzing everything for one second, he’d realize that all is well, you can be pleased. To him the world is a terrible place, until he finally finds peace at age 60. Gee, that took a long time! He was never satisfied and blamed it on the world around him. Get over it!
In additional words, I’ve had more fun reading the ingredients on food marks. And they’re more appealing too! But I read it and now its done, thank god. In conclusion, if you aren’t assigned this book for English class, don’t read it!

This book was horrible. The writing was decent but the topic was one of the worst that I have ever seen. I dont see how this book was published.
