Negative Positive
Title: Well read and still not a fan.
Review: I also must add my one star review. I was baffled by the "spiritual' label given to this book. I was expecting something along the lines of Thich Nhat Hanh because of the author's Buddhist leanings. Instead, this read like the self indulgent smut of an adolescent. Harry Haller's rather boring journey from isolated arrogance to licking the earth may have been a more spiritual read if he found some meaning in his life through helping others or self sacrifice. Hookers and drugs hardly qualifies as a transcendental experience in my mind.My other complaint - Hesse is just downright windy.
Is the review positive or negative?
