Summary: ummm...i must be a moron
Review: Someone please shoot me in the face, am i the only one who didn't enjoy this book. i read it last year in my 4th year honors french class, now up until the semester when we read this book, i had been a fairly good french student, i have family who live in provence, i visit them often and i had never made a B in french until the semester of junior year when we read "le petit prince" needless to say i made a C that semester. this was the dumbest thing i've ever laid eyes on...well besides a few girls i know. but who gives a merde about some little kid going from planet to planet asking a bunch of dumb questions, and be in love with a rose. im (upset), cause this made me totally lose intrest in french, and now that im a senior and in AP french...im not trying at all, this book is awful, maybe i should read it in english.......nah. oh well, c'est la vie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best, applying to all ages and walks of life
Review: The Little Prince is simply one of the most profound books ever written. It incorporates simple truths, which will make us rexamine our life, our values, and our outlook. I would reccomend it to a mother, to read to her infant and to the business man, as a must read.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of a Kind
Review: This book is not for everybody; only for those with a great heart, a natural smile and soul.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even better than in English -- sublime!
Review: This book was one of my favorites as a child...it is surreal, sweet, and teaches a valuable lesson on love. The story of lost and rediscovered love is one of the most pure and true things ever written.

In this, the French (original) language version, that purity seems even more clear. It was one of my first "real books" to translate as a young student of French, but it holds up to me as an adult, in both languages.

Illustrated with lovely and simple pictures of the Prince and his rose, this French language book is a must for Francophones of all ages. The English translation edition is a must for everyone else!

Summary: Good book for kids reader, also good for adults.
Review: This is good reading material for kids, but moreso I would think it is good for adults who are busy everyday because they never stop themself from busy & think who they are & how they treat people. This book is also good for those people who don't have free time to quietly listen to what they need in deep inside of heart

This book is especially good for people who feel hesitate & unsafety about their love....

Summary: One of My Favorites!
Review: When I first read this book when I was a senior in high school and read it for my French class, I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this book. I'd heard so much about it. After reading it I can say that I love this book so much, no wonder Le Petit Prince is on some French currency! I've read this book in English and French, and I'd have to say that the French is sooo much better if you know French. It's not all that difficult to understand if you are at a beginning level. This is a great book and is worth every penny in both languages!

Summary: A naïve look on friendship and human behaviour
Review: When I was eight years old, my parents game this book saying it is a great book for children. I started reading it and quit after I had reached the third chapter. It was too boring for an eight-year old child. Well, now I'm 23 I decided to give the book one more chance and... I loved it! In spite of what most people say about 'Le Petit Prince' (including Saint-Exupery himself on the book's preface), this is not a book "pour les petits". It is too philosofical for children. The book is about growing older and how grown-ups loose their innocence during this process. It is about how clumsy adults do become. 'Le Petit Prince' depicts the nature of human behaviour by means of a worderful fable. A pilot with engine problems in his aircraft is forced to land in the middle of Sahara desert where he meets Le Petit Prince, a mysterious child who had just arrived from his tiny lonely planet in search of friends. During his trip to Earth, Le Petit Prince meets several unusual characters. Each of them reveals something about the nature of adults. The pilot (an adult himself) is much disconcerted in realising he has something to learn with the child-prince, who has a naïve look upon people the pilot had long lost.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every time I need a best friend I reed it again
