Favorite and Least Favorite Parts

Favorite:
My favorite part would have to be the ending after all his struggling and suffering he discovers himself. I also like that the ending reveals the things he loved most (Demian and his mother) actually turned out to be a part of himself. It gives you a good feeling that maybe the most inspiring people in your life may actually be reflections of yourself.

Least Favorite:
My least favorite would have to be around the middle. Though all the characters ultimately lead to Sinclairs self, I feel like there were almost too many times he came to some profound realization. Coming to so many made each one seem less special. It also seems like some of the ideas were contradictory to themselves, and though very enlightening to me sometimes it seemed to be stretching ideas a bit far. It also made a lot of references to the bible, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but for me it makes it harder to understand. I realy dont know any of the bible stories so this made it a little confusing for me to always get the point.

  1. I had some trouble with the middle of this book, too. In general I felt like I should read it again and pay closer attention, but I never did!
