maxyfran73 's review for:
Demian
by Hermann Hesse
A very interesting book, and I really liked the evolution of Sinclair as a character. Deep in its depiction of the world from the perspective of a fervently faithful child who sees his world turn to the darkness, who then learns to embrace this earthly world thanks to Max. Max Demian, in turn, was a extremely interesting character, this mystic guide that aids Sinclair in his spiritual awakening, as well as people like Pistorius who also serve the same goal.
All in all, I think the bits with Eva were the weakest, as it felt rather sudden and underwhelming of a revelation, when the marked are introduced, then the war. The final parts were satisfying, and very narratively conclusive, but overall, it felt a lot more disperse than the rest of the work.
All in all, however, it was an enjoyable read with a very strong character and a very satisfying development.
