A crazy, funny, deep book. There were so many parts that I read and reread, to fully absorb the meaning. I loved how the author was poking fun at humans and their strange ways. The chapter about the businessman was so dangerously close to the truth, omg! So was the chapter about the trains. A quick read too.

Another book I never read growing up. An allegory about the death of childhood innocence, the sometimes meaningless world of adults, loneliness and the seeking for some connection. Beautiful and deep.

THE LITTLE PRINCE
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

[*****] 5 Stars.

This book has the single most adorable little character ever in forever and I just wanna rip him off the book and give him a huge bear-hug, probably marry him too...

Aside from that, I love the philosophical aspects of it a la Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the space for reflexions it gives us.

Basically, if every person on Earth read this piece of art and was able to apply it on life, the world would be a better and much more enjoyable place. And WHOA, that might be a little too much but darn it, I love this book and refuse to feel ashamed of it. Sue me!
