I've been thinking about reading this story for years. As someone interested in books, you can't escape the mention of it really. It never happened, always somehow put off by another book, or by my mood, or by plain forgetfulness. Till now, as a friend of mine is migrating away from me, in my late twenties, thinking about things such as friendship and love and commitment. Basically, I read this book at the right time.

Took me less than an hour to read, and each second was worth its weight in gold. I'm sorry I waited this long.
A treasure trove of insight on life, love, imagination, adulthood, childhood, trust, and loss. I've been stumbling over myself to describe it properly. It is beyond words.
If you haven't read this book stop what you're doing right now, pick it up (or google the full text online), and READ IT. You'll thank me later. ...more

I loved this book. I had completely misunderstood what it was about. But it is about loss and love and what you lose when you grow up, what you lose when you love. What you gain. And that the wonders of a thing are the possibilities it contains.
I could see myself rereading this book over the years. Or learning French so I could read the original.

This is a beautiful story of life and death and understanding that there is so much more if we choose to see the beauty in the mundane. The Little Prince delivers a childlike wonder akin to Santa Claus. Where everything is new with the possibility of being beautiful and it is so easy to see how much time grown ups waste on worry. A must read

It's a really sweet little book and I've loved it since I was little.
Update:
Re-read it 'cause I'm doing a research paper on it! Wish me luck I have no idea what I'm saying.
Maybe I shouldn't have picked a book I like so much smh I can't think critically when I'm biased. ...more
