My review is for this Particular translation of Siddhartha, by Simon & Brown. The translation is just horrible, done by somebody Who has very little familiarity with English. It got to the point Where It Was So distracting That I Had to stop reading and to exchange Reviews another release.
Siddhartha is a great story, worth reading. Purpose if you're going to bother, I recommend you read one Of the following editions: Penguin, New Directionss, gold Bantam.
