Negative Positive
Title: the same thing over and over again - redundant
Review: The book had a message, and Hesse managed to say that message in so many different useless words of verbiage in all its 80 some pages. The absolute oneness of the universe, the transcendental power of time and space, the 'om' of all people and things: Hesse pounded it into the ground in the last 30 pages while Siddhartha was at the river. The point was gracefully made the first time and did not need to be repeated endlessly. A simple message that I've heard many times, and still no real proof to it...I was disappointed from what I thought would be a good book at the beginning.
