the book is a sort of adult aesop's fable about a young man's road to accepting simple truth in life.
it reads almost like a child's book. and like
the little prince
or tom sawyer.....it contains a ton of simple wisdom.
it's a short read and so any potential disappointment can be offset by the fact that it didn't take a chunk of your life to read it.
i've seen this book change people....who needed it.
and yet it is a quiet change. a good change....
and still something we all carry within us already.

so I read Psy's link...

Is it about Gautama the Buddha? Not sure, it says Siddhartha questioned even the teachings of Gautama. Now, Gautama Buddha's full name was Siddhartha Gautama! So what's up here? If the protagonist in the story is not the Gautama Buddha, then Ol' Hesse picked an unfortunate first name for his hero...

Bah! I guess I better read it, eh?

for me....it's always been pure allegory.
and perfectly so, too.
