Book Reviews of The Little Prince
Book Review: Not an Easy Read...
Summary: 4 Stars
They say it is the translation that makes this book not very easy to read however I am not sure that is the case. I did discover the story behind the book which now makes the book much more sense. I don't want to give it away but I will tell you this... The Little Prince is a man who isn't happy with his wife (his single rose) and leaves her to discover other relationships (planets). With this in mind the story will make much more sense, I promise. Book Review: The Little prince

The Complex and Simple issues of the Human relation in a Book For Children. You Must find it Book Review: The Best Book Ever!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Little Prince is ostensibly a children's book with lots of lessons for EVERYONE! Read it again and again and you will find a new nugget of wisdom each time. I adore this book as do my students. You won't be disappointed!! Book Review: I don't like the new translation at all
Summary: 1 Stars
I love the style in which this book was originally translated from French to English. There was a genuine, child-like quality to it that rang true to the books character and that of it's charming little prince. The new translation took me by surprise as I was not aware that it had been re-translated and sadly, the surprise was not a happy one. It just doesn't feel like the same book to me, and tragically, the original translation appears to be out of print now. Why in God's name did they feel the need to fix something that was in no way broken? Ghaaaa! Child-like and genuine has been replaced by rigid and sterile. The Little Prince would weep. :(Book Review: Fit for a Princess
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this as a gift for my 7-year-old niece, who lives in a city distant from me. I'm told by her, and her parents, that it is a beautiful edition.
I can add nothing to the comments about this wonderful story, which speaks to the hearts of both children and adults.
So far as I know, it was a hit with my niece and her parents.
