“Waddya mean far-fetched? It IS allegorical, obviously.”
“i think this book is a bit farfetched......”
“I started to read with Hermann Hesse, he was like an older friend talkin me about the path i should to take. It would be interesting to read this book again, and see how far i have walk in my own path, surely i am closer to find myself than 15 years ago.”
“boring!”
“It's very good. I reckon the tale should actually be shelved in the 'religion' non fiction section of the library amongst all the expoundings from teachers and gurus.. (just to be subversive :-) in my library I found it in the fiction amongst all the novels.”
“It is one of the most enlightening books that explains how everyone has to go alone in her/his quest for wisdom.”
“I thought the book was boring but i liked the language in it.”
“this book talks abou everybody soul ; this is our life and we should know how to live it ;this novel shortens the meaning of the life .......like the last temptation of the Christ which was written by Nicos Kazantazakis”
“This book was a coming of age read for me. All my friends read it. The classic story of one man's journey to enlightenent, the Buddha himself, is well known but Hesse made it an engrossing read. I'm always surprised when many others in my "age group" haven't read this.”
