cpope9 's review for:

Demian by Hermann Hesse
4.0

What an unexpected pleasure.

Knowing nothing about the book or the author (other than having heard his name in passing over the years), I embarked on this and was wonderfully pleased. This book about the existential and philosophical musings of a young man over his life and his bouncing back and forth between passions, lifestyles, insecurities, and understanding was just right up my alley.

Though I didn’t quite follow all the themes or ideas herein, there’s enough to pull me back in to explore it more in the future.
