a delightful, classic read! i easily teared through the pages and felt a warm feeling of content when i finished.
buttt what's a review if i'm not being completely honest? the writing and the story was pleasing, but i was not infatuated. while i did find this a cozy read, i can't bring myself to rate this a 4. i like and admire this book, but i'm not quite fond of it, and unfortunately, it isn't that important to me and has little-to-no-space in my heart (ouch sorry).
regardless, i did enjoy myself and this is certainly a re-read. i do think the little prince is worthy of its high remarks and praise!! it's just not for me to love :(
also, my favourite lines that just hit too close to home:
‘You are beautiful, but you are hollow,’ he went on. ‘No one would give up their life for you. Of course an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looks just like you. But she’s more important than all of you – because I watered her, I sheltered her under a glass dome, and I protected her with a mesh. It was for her that I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three so she could see the butterflies). I have listened to her complaining, grumbling, boasting and even to her silence. Because she is my rose.’

Es kann gut sein, dass ich einfach zu stumpf für die Geschichte bin.
Auf mich wirkte es wie annähernd zusammenhangslose, sprunghafte Abenteuer des Kleinen Prinzen, die jeweils zu kurz dauerten um wirklich mein Interesse zu erregen. Mit ein bisschen Mühe könnte ich auch eine tiefere Bedeutung hineininterpregieren, aber das käme mir erzwungen vor. Gut für die Leute, die Gefallen an dem Buch finden - ich hätte mir auch gewünscht, es zu mögen, aber es scheint einfach nicht mein Fall zu sein...
