My Opinions: This book describes the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddartha. Along with his friend, Govinda, he gives up his old life to start the learning process. He meets Buddha along the way, who Siddartha refuses to be taught by. He also meets Kamala, a beautiful courtesan who teaches him about love. Towards the end, he meets Vasudeva, a fisherman who is another teacher for Siddartha. It is a great process and has valuable lessons. It is not entirely about Hinduism, but rather a man's journey. At certain parts, I left like the book went by really slow. However, it definitely had me thinking and reflecting afterwards. It is a great read for thinkers and excellent for a school project. Your teacher would be impressed!
