Summary: The more times you read it the better
Review: It is one of the best books ever writen. It is Untemporal, since it was writen 50 years ago and is still plenty of validity. It is not only a fiction book. It is a poem, it is a management book, it is a self improvement book. If you want to have a really amazing moment in your life, read this book. I also can assure you that it will change your life for the better, without extremes and with simple things. Simple things are the best in the life, and this book is simple and magnificent. Merci Antoine, good job.

Summary: Trying to Fix Engines
Review: This book I have bought over 10 times. I have given all of my copies away except the last, because my wife will not let me. I even gave away my sister's copy, so now I have to buy her a new copy (I think I will get her a hardcover this time.) The book is a blessing to us. The easily followed story glides along the imagination while the morals in the book directly attack your feelings making you love this book. I would put this book up with other great works of art "the scream," "starry night," the music of beethoven, and the works of dostoyevsky. The book does what Socratese claims ought to be done by all literature; it takes your feelings and puts them in their right order. "The Little Prince" is a novel that encompasses every aspect of life, because it's aim is about showing us how to live. I also recommend this books counterpart "Johnathan Livingston Seagull," this is the Eastern Philosophy's side of the story of life. Happy Reading!

Summary: Too Many Meanings, Too Much Confusion!
Review: This book, which is made for kids my age, really got my noodle going, but it wasn't exactly enjoyable to read. As it was boring in some ways, the meanings were way too complex and confusing. For instance, one minute they're talking about one thing, then the next they're talking about another. Everything happens so fast, you don't know where you are, what you read, and you end up reading paragraphs over again and again. I wouldn't recommend this book to impaitient people, or who can't understand hidden meanings. But if you're a fast thinker, I suggest that you read this book because you'd love it. But I don't think this book is suitable for kids my age and under, unless they're up to the challange or super smart, because it will just tire them out with trying to figure out what they're reading. Personally, I didn't like this book, but everyone else is a different story.

Summary: A book for Kids and for Adults!
Review: The most amazing feature of this book is that kids as well as adults can read it and relate to it. Kids have fun reading this creative story line with a very easy to understand plot. Young adults/adults, however, find it very intense and debatable because of it's deep psychological meanings which makes THE LITTLE PRINCE go beyond just a children story. I read this when I was twelve thinking it would be a cute little story, but instead I learned a lot from Antoine De Saint-Exupery, the author who is also a psychologist. I would recomend this book to everyone! It's a great novel, very interesting; it will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Summary: It's more than just a book, it's about life.......
Review: Oh my gosh, this book is just so realistic, there just isn't enough words to describe it.You really have to look beyond the cutecy little adventures the little prince does, because there are a lot of lessons that we can all learn from it. I agree, it isn't really a children's book, although a child will mostly understand it. I can most definitely find myself and in what situation i am in,in this book. As you read the book, you'll notice that all of the scences in the story are simply metaphors of everyone's lives. Like for example, the flower that the little prince cared for so much, can be related as a love relationship, but when the little boy leaves his flower for her vanity(snobiness)and she tells him to just "be happy", you know that was true love right there,and also lets him know that she was just testing him to see if he was going to give up on her.So know u know the little prince made a mistake by leaving her, and throughout the story he mentions her and relates to her. You will truelly find yourself in this story and it will remind you of all things you've been through in your life, and things you will go through. You have to lelate this book to life when you read it, otherwise, it's just a lil children's book. Oh and by the way, my French teacher thought this was the best book in her whole life and wanted to read this to us, and after every chapter, we talk about what the story meant and it's amazing how every single person can really relate to it, and interpret it in his or her own way.She tells us she's read this 20 times, and everytime she reads it, she finds something new. It's just like a poem, you're never wrong and there's diff situations behind it and applies to us all. the book is also an eye-opener to me, because it makes you realize how vain the world can be at times, and most grown ups are to blame for letting that happen. Overall, this book is about relationships for the most part,love,friendship,even vanity and alcoholism, and how making the wrong choice can hurt you permanently. It is a book about life...

Summary: A lovely, sad little fantasy
Review: One of my favorite short books, this is more of a short story or a children's story than a real novel. All the same, it's so beautiful that sometimes I have difficulty reading it. A man has crashed in the desert, and out of nowhere a little Prince appears. The Prince talks to him and keeps him company, while also telling him of his travels. The Prince is truly charming, a wise little boy who captures the heart immediately, and his stories and observations have the otherworldly quality of a dream. At the same time, there is a sadness that permeates the book-somehow I felt that it could not end happily, and that made this story all the more precious. This is a book that is shoved with the children's literature, and I believe that it is often overlooked by adults who would benefit from the simplicity of the Little Prince.

Summary: A children's book? No. And adult book for children too.
Review: I read this book for the first time when I was about 30 years. I thought it was cute in the beginning. Toward the middle I thought it was clever and touching. At the end I was rocked to the core. Like most masterpieces, you won't be able to say why you like it or love it, if you do. And you won't be able to explain why a book, written in French, seems to flow fine in just about any language. Each time I read it now, I get some little detail or some magic thought that I missed the last time and all the time before. But I can't tell you why I like it so much. Or why all the people I have given it to have fallen in love with it. I DO know that anyone who does not like this book is probably someone I do not want to know. By all means read the many reviews here. You will find a hundred reasons why other people fell in love with the Prince and his story. And you will also meet adults who are in too much a hurry to enjoy anything that is really important, adults who are more interested in facts than what the facts mean and who care more about money, power and prestige than love, friendship and simple beauty. I suspect that such people are the ones who who wrote the few negative reviews here. Perhaps other people who did not like the book read it at the wrong time, under the wrong conditions.

Summary: It's SIMPLY beautiful
Review: Easy enough for a child, with issues profound enough for a college philosophy professor; easy enough to read if you are sick and tired; worth paying attention to if you are wide awake and vigorous. Somewhere, in this lovely book, you will find yourself.
