Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
4.0

Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Score: 8.5

A very uplifting and light read. More of a treatise on life and philosophy disguised as a novel than a true novel, but a great story nonetheless.

The type of book you can take away 100 things from and still have room for more. The prose is rich despite being a translation, and the themes and lessons are timeless. A classic for a reason, everyone should experience it.
