Gonna go hold someone I love very tightly now

Loveable characters: Yes

I completely understand why this book is so internationally cherished by both children and adults. I also understand why people find it a bit cloying or overly moralistic, though I disagree. I find it refreshing to have a little book like this that delves into existentialist themes while still being understandable and accessible to a broader audience. I wouldn’t say these themes are revolutionary or original, but who said they needed to be? It’s an evergreen story that I can only imagine revisiting — whether in my head or on paper — over and over again until I, too, journey to the stars.

I’d recommend this to adults that want to get in touch with their inner child again, or adults looking to connect with a child in their lives.

I guess I am a fully fledged, insufferable, number-loving adult now, because I understood it better when I read it as a child.
