Title: Almost thought-provoking, but not quite
Review: Siddhartha wanders through life in search of meaning and finally deludes himself into believing that he has found it. The writing isn't that great, maybe it lost something in the translation, and the plot leaves much to be desired, so all this novel has going for it is that it's profound. Almost. Throughout the novel, Siddhartha rejects just about every belief possible, until he decides that the only way to live is to be happy with everything. "Contentedness with everything is the key to life" is the only truth revealed in the entire novel, and it is a truth that I do not agree with. I suppose you have to give the guy some credit for punctuation and an honest effort, but I draw the line at two stars.
