I read this book as it came highly recommended by a close friend. It's their favorite book. I started reading before a long-haul flight after midnight and continued reading through while gazing out of the airplane.
The book has several little gems, I think that is what I would like to take out of this book, and would focus on, rather than how the overall book was.
A few important messages that stuck with me were:
1. You can decide something and you can change your mind about it later
2. So what if you were a Messiah? You can still choose to live your life in a certain way that is not Messiah-like. And that is also fine.
I think I will read this book again someday and see it from a different perspective, as I don't find it life-changing because of the state of mind I am in at the moment.

This is one of my favorite books from when I was a kid. It changed my thinking and the trajectory of my life. Short book, huge message.
I’ve read this book countless times since my mom first gave it to me while I was in high school. It changes for me a bit after each reading. It will always be a favorite for me because I think it speaks to the untapped potential of humankind. I hope we get there someday.
I found this book on my dad's library when I was 10 years old. Changed my life forever. I read it over and over again, even after 14 years. I always find new meanings in its words.

I like it for its aphorisms. For the curious story weaved in. For the attempt at understanding basic words like love, faith, miracles, purpose. For the wit. Finally, I like how concise this book is so I can pick it up and read from time to time.

This book came highly recommended by family members but it just seems to be light fluff in regard to spirituality, enlightenment, self-help or whatever other category you want to stuff it in. It doesn't even come close to The Little Prince.
Only giving it 2 stars as so not to offend said family members. I
