A supernatural tale about the life of Siddhartha the prince becoming the Buddha. Siddhartha-the-character felt a little over-powered, but it was still a fun story to read. Because the story was so fantastic, it was rather difficult for me as a beginner to understand what is considered a historical fact of his life vs something Chopra may have invented. Even with that struggle, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to a fellow beginner.... but I would recommend more research afterward!
