Rating:  Summary: The little prince, the large masterpiece Review: One of the best books you will ever read is the symbolic and fantasizing story, The Little Prince. This book is the best novel ever written and it is NOT A LITTLE FARY TALE. When I first picked it up I thought it would be but it shows you many things and has definately affected my life. If you read this I can almost garentee you will love every last page of it.
Rating:  Summary: i would give it ten stars if i could... Review: from the sub-conscious to reality, from abandoned aspirations to fulfilling pre-ordained roles; how many of us swing between these emotions accepting what has come our way with resigned fatalism? how many of us have pursued our drawings of boa-constrictors (from the inside and the outside!)? the author is reunited with his past and succeeds in reminding us of all we dreamt of being when we were little princes and princesses. inspired me to think about my life and whether i like where it is going. a delightful read.
Rating:  Summary: My Favourite Review: This book is witten in simple english, but it has some meaning in it. It is suitable for all ages, really. If you're small, you can just read the story; if you're grown-up, you can taste the meaning.By TS Choi, 13
Rating:  Summary: the absolute best book in existence Review: Any person who says otherwise obviously has either no imagination or no education. This is one of the most wonderful books ever written. Children can enjoy it for the story, adults can enjoy it for the philosophy, it is most definitely a book for all ages and a must read.
Rating:  Summary: A beautiful book of magic and pure imagination Review: The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) is a rare book which looks like an ordinary dull fairy tale. However, this is no fairy tale. It is a adventure out of this world which points out important aspects of life.
Rating:  Summary: An heirloom of a book Review: Some books you read once, and then never pick up the book again. This book is one that gets better and more applicable with each reading. I enjoyed it as a child, but I learned from it reading it in college. It is a book that I would take genuine pleasure in reading to my (future) children and passing on to them.
Rating:  Summary: NOT WORTH YOUR TIME Review: I found the little prince to be a complete waste of time. It is basically a book of protest of what makes society evil. If you feel th way the author does it isn't worth your time because you should be out fixing the world. If you disagree with it, it will just highly agitate you.
Rating:  Summary: a very touching journey into the heart of a young boy Review: I do not know what else to add to such inspiring reviews. All I can say is that The Little Prince is an incredible story, not just for children but for adults as well. I have read this book many times throughout my life, and each time I find some new significance or truth in it. My mother handed her copy down to me, and I know that I will hand it down to my child. This is a book that can not be held by the constraints of time or circumstance. It will continue to touch the lives of its readers for many years to come.
Rating:  Summary: A whimsical tale of immaterial values. Review: A children's book for all ages. The story is told by the narrator, who meets the Little Prince in the Sahara Desert. While the narrator is there because of a plane crash, the Little Prince is there on a journey. The narrator records the story he hears from the Little Prince, of his travels to other planets and of meeting a king, conceited man, drunk, business man, lamp lighter and geographer, before coming to planet Earth. On planet Earth, he climbs a mountain and hears his voice as an echo, much like the bear in "Happy Birthday Moon," a later publication written by Frank Asch, 1988, Simon and Schuster Books For Young Readers. He meets a snake, tames a fox, and sees roses similar to his special flower back home. The fox teaches the prince that, "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." (p.73) Antoine De Saint-Exupery accompanies his writing with his own pen and watercolor drawings. Entries are written somewhat as a diary, and illustrations depict: the prince, planets, people and animals he encounters during his travels. The book illustrates how children view the world entirely differently from less curious adults. It forces one to consider the importance of the intangibles in one's life.
