I first read the book when i was around 16 and couldn't understand most of it and did not appreciate the book at all.

But after 6 or 7 years when i re-read the book again, the philosophies behind the writing were more profound and understandable.

I would say the same thing as Jasunap said, this book is not for youngsters. Give it a few years before you decide to read and comprehend this one. 😊
