    You can look it up on Amazon and read the customer reviews. There are quite a few.

    Thanks. I just read a few. Many said that the book was better, so I've ordered the paperback Siddartha by Hermann Hesse -- it was reasonably priced.

    Have not.
    But looks interesting!
    Thank you!

    I read the book before I ever became a Buddhist. Highly fictionalized story but it left a big impression on me. Hermann Hesse is a great writer and makes his characters come alive. I never saw the movie, which if Hollywood is doing its usual thing has almost nothing to do with the book.

    I found the 1972 movie on NetFlix -- in my queue now.

    They sure know how to ruin a book don't they. It's a rare occasion when a Hollywood movie is better than the book.
