5.0 out of 5 stars Life-changing book, 25 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Le Petit Prince (Paperback)
This isn't just a book... it's very hard to describe.. It's a phenomenon. The story spans all generations - while the colourful characters may superficially please the younger audience, the timeless imagery, symbolism and observations of humanity can teach all but the most obtuse. Having said that, there are people who just don't 'get' this book. They want to know why such and such happens, or what the point of this bit was - if you ask the question, you're just not the sort of person who will ever appreciate this story. I have studied English Literature, and Theatre Studies, and have ploughed through all the literary 'greats', and I can say with my hand on my heart that no book I have ever read has even come close to the feeling of 'Le Petit Prince'. Please, please read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars philosophy for children (and adults), 17 Jun 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Le Petit Prince (Collection Folio (Gallimard)) (Paperback)
I first read this in French for A level, forty years ago. I bought a copy in English, which has disappeared, and I rediscovered it in my local "tabac" about a year ago. It is a wonderful book, which every adult with average intelligence should read at least once in their lifetime.
The world from the perspective of the little prince is revealed in a way which is charming but not at all sentimental, and very thought-provoking if one allows oneself to be challenged.
I'm not saying any more than that - buy the book and discover it for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amusing and relaxing., 10 May 2003
By deadbeat (Tiptoe) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
A good read, and although this is a book designed for chidren, it can be read with as much glee, though probably more, by adults. About a boy from a tiny planet, near Earth, who comes to earth to find a way to save his pet flower, and best friend, the book's flippancy and genial nature make The Little Prince an extremely relieving read; like a breath of fresh air. It is wonderfully written, very short, and contains stimulating ideas.
It is almost moving in its naivety. A must read, though I warn you, not too much like the author's other works, which are aimed at a different audience (though they are also very good books!).
