Negative Positive
Title: siddhartha
Review: I am in the minority compared to the other reviews but I wanted to give a teenager's perspective of this book. I'm 15 and maybe when I'm 30 I'll like the book but I had to read it for an english class in 10th grade and it was awful reading. to anyone who has a choice to read this book or anything else, pick the latter- it drones on and on about siddhartha finding inner peace, exploring different ways of life, and "discovering himself". it sends an awful message to kids as he contemplates suicide not once but twice because he is merely unhappy with himself at that moment. there are pages upon pages which are entirely composed of siddhartha talking to himself, then contradicting himself, and so on. in all, the "action" in this book could be summed up in about 2 pages and I had trouble staying awake through even the first chapter. if you have to read this, heres a tip: get sparknotes.
Is the review positive or negative?
