A meditative journey on what is the meaning of life. I had trouble connecting with it. Perhaps I am too materialistic. Perhaps I am chasing too much in life. The language Hesse used was beautiful, and I enjoyed the reading of it, about a chapter a day. But I struggled to connect with Siddhartha's journey and discoveries about the nature of life.

Solo puedo decir que este libro fue un gran viaje. Antes de empezarlo pensé que tal vez iba a estar lleno de filosofía aburrida e incomprensible, pero, en realidad, es bastante bueno y fácil de digerir. Me gustó mucho del pensamiento expresado y, sin duda, Hesse se queda como uno de los autores sobre los que debo leer más.

I think I need some time to reflect on this one before giving a good review.

Uff casi dos meses para terminarlo... Debo decir que es un buen libro y me gusto. Todas las maneras por las que pasa Siddhartha para llegar a la “iluminación” creo que son lugares donde usualmente buscamos respuestas al sentido de nuestra vida. Como novela definitivamente no me llenó, pero como libro pseudo-espiritual si. Tiene muchas enseñanzas con las que me quedo aunque no coincida con la idea final que lleva a Siddhartha al Nirvana, aunque creo que la idea central es que mientras algo te de paz, en eso de encuentra tu felicidad.

Such a beautiful book. I found it a bit hard to read as it really got me into thinking about many deep and tough situations and also it gives some analogies that I really liked to reflex on while reading but it was not easy to come to conclusions. Very good if you are exploring your inner thoughts and are deepen into self introspection.
