Book Reviews of The Little Prince
Book Review: A Little Book On Big Themes
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't heap enough praises on this little book on big themes of the most touching universal kind and a French literary masterpiece of all time. Le petit prince written by Antoine de Saint-Exup?ry and first published in 1943, is a bittersweet fable of a young prince who leaves his tiny planet to explore the universe and yet in fact tells of the dark side of life, love and loneliness, pain and suffering, death and parting, think Camus, Sartre and existentialism. That's why there is always the impulse to sob everytime the book is read. It's not just a children's book but a must-read and must-own for all on serious philosophical subjects and life's lessons through the eyes of the innocents with most delightful drawings. Join the wisdom and charm of the little prince's rose-and-star-filled world. You simply can't resist this beautiful 60th Anniversary collector's edition of The Little Prince, the timeless thought-provoking French literary masterpiece in the latest translation presented in gold stamping and embossing enhanced hardcover and slipcase with a satin bookmark! Go get a copy everyone!
Book Review: Could not really get into it
Summary: 2 Stars
My teacher told us that this book was really about death. But for all the inuendoes hidden in a book disguised as a simple children's book, it just didn't interest me. I just found it bland and odd. It is a very short book, but even my patience was wearing thin in class. We had to read a chapter, then the teacher would discuss it in depth and its hidden messages. I just didn't care. I know many people love this book for whatever reason, but it just didn't do anything for me and I easily forgot about it after finishing it. Book Review: Great Condition, Fast Delivery, Excellent Price

I originally went into Borders to purchase this book, it was double the price. Not only was the amazon purchase priced better, but i recieved free delivery! One couldn't ask for more....Book Review: Not as good as it should be
Summary: 3 Stars
It took my husband and me quite effort to take the book out from its cover. It would have been better without the cover. I would have bought the one without the gift cover - nice and cheaper.Book Review: Awesome as a gift, for your classic literature collection, and for children
Summary: 5 Stars
Le petit prince is my favorite book... both in fernch and in english! It captures the heart of innocence and teaches valuable moral lessons. The book is versatile- great for kids and great for adults.
