Title: Surprisingly Insightful.
Review: Surprisingly insightful and revealing for a book of just 152 pages. Even though the backdrop for the book is about a young Brahmin's quest for self-realization, many of us will still relate to it.The journey for a young Siddhartha begins with an awakening, "Truly, nothing in the world has occupied my thoughts as much as the Self, this riddle, that I live....and about nothing in the world do I know less than about myself, about Siddhartha."In the end Siddhartha says, "Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate it and teach it."Like any good book it only raises questions and asks you to find your own answers. I intend to read the book again sometime in the future.PS: I've given it four stars only because I found the plot a bit too dramatic towards the end.
